what does this idom mean “i’m stuck between a hard place and a rock”?

It means torn between two equally difficult decisions.

It’s “between a rock and a hard place”. It means you have two options, neither of which are ones you like making the situation a difficult one. It comes from the epic poem The Odyssey when Odysseus and his crew near the Sirens.

…”a rock and a hard place.” It means that you are in a difficult situation, with neither choice being a good one.

you’re in a bad situation. almost like a catch 22 where any decision has the possibility of turning out bad.

You have two choices but neither are very good.

On one hand it could mean this

but on the other hand not doing it could mean this

what do you chose

Your trapped.
