Up a creek without a paddle means you are in deep trouble and there is nothing you can do about it. Your situation is quite hopeless, in other words. The image in this idiom is of a boat adrift in a river, with no paddles (oars) to steer with. It doesn't mean things are hopeless. It's just going to take more effort/time to get back home. If you ever find yourself up the creek be thankful you're not in a pickle

The complete saying was "I'm up a creek, without a paddle!" The implication is that you are in a canoe, in a stream or creek in which the water is flowing swiftly. Uncontrolled creeks and rivers often have rocks and rapids, and the only way to survive is to navigate your way around the rocks and down the center of the main channel of the creek. But in order to control your canoe, you need a paddle. So, to be "up a creek, without a paddle", is to be adrift and at the mercy of fate, without being able to control events.
