No, the real truth is this - your first draft not only should suck, it WILL suck. And for good reason!
And if you're stuck, you can always skip to the next scene, or just include something simple like: "(Write later!)".
Refining is what second drafts are for.
But do not stress over your first draft. If it's terrible, you're probably doing it right.
