When i use the word "stuck" i'm referring to a dissociative reaction. Sometimes when i get triggered i can't speak and have trouble moving. i freeze.

i have mild OCD--something i rarely even consider an issue--but when it's "up" for me, i can get stuck in an OCD related action. For example, when i play solitaire online. i "have" to win three times before i can stop playing. Even if there's something else i need to do i can get stuck needing to finish the routine. Although there's extreme discomfort and frustration, i have to finish so i'm stuck until i can be released from the routine with it's completion.

Another use from my perspective has to do with what Pegasus said regarding PTSD. It's not a choice. i might be just going along living life and then bam, the past resurfaces. Others may say i'm stuck in the past. i say the past is stuck to me. i don't decide to relive it. PTSD does that for me.
