I come from a Sociology background, Criminology and Criminal Justice to be specific. Most academia around learned helplessness centers around how it pertains to women who are subjected to domestic violence, and people with substance abuse disorders. The way learned helplessness is applied certainly has political undercurrents as there is a remarkable lack of diversity in the research. An example of this is how the research has a tendency to examine marginalized populations, and women primarily. There is almost zero literature on learned helplessness outside of these two demographics. Though, the research does suggest some prerequisites exist for experiencing learned helplessness, such as experiencing trauma that is on-going, and then following that, a mental disorder. Even then, learned helplessness isn't a diagnosis, as much as it is a description of a behavioral pattern that arises in light of circumstances, like the aforementioned. I personally do think that learned helplessness exists, and is an accurate description of a behavioral cycle that enables victimization, but I remain skeptical about its currently limited application. I do not see why learned helplessness cannot be applied at a more micro-level, for example someone staying at a job that they do not like for an extended period of time, because it has diminished their self-esteem to progress - is it unreasonable to assume this may have adverse mental health outcomes like being in traumatic situation? Without knowing your situation, I would be skeptical about saying you are experiencing learned helplessness, as it is a description of behaviors that occur at the late stages of on-going trauma. What you are feeling is probably a quasi-Stockholm Syndrome, which is similar, yet nuanced to learned helplessness. If you give me some specific information I might be able to assist you more. Best of luck.
