What is another word for in a dilemma?
Pronunciation: [ɪn ɐ da͡ɪlˈɛmə] (IPA) 
When we find ourselves in a difficult situation, we often say that we're "in a dilemma." But there are plenty of other words to describe this feeling of being stuck between two equally difficult options. Some possible synonyms include "at a crossroads," "in a quandary," "in a predicament," "at a loss," "in a bind," "in a fix," "between a rock and a hard place," "caught in the middle," "between Scylla and Charybdis," and "in a tight spot." While each of these phrases carries slightly different connotations, they all share the sense of feeling uncertain, conflicted, and unsure of how to proceed.
