What is another word for at an impasse?
Pronunciation: [at ɐn ɪmpˈas] (IPA) 
When you're stuck at a dead-end or faced with an insurmountable problem, you might feel like you're "at an impasse." But fear not - there are plenty of other ways to express this frustrating situation. Maybe you're "stuck in a rut," "cornered," "at a crossroads," or "up against a brick wall." You could also say you're "deadlocked," "at a standstill," or "in a quagmire." If you're dealing with an unsolvable disagreement, you might say you're "clashing" or "butting heads." Or, if you feel like you're slowly spinning your wheels without making any progress, you could describe yourself as "treading water" or "marking time." No matter how you say it, feeling stuck is never fun - but at least you have a variety of ways to express your frustrations.
