going down the rabbit hole

I believe you meant “going down the rabbit hole”. This phrase is used to describe a situation where someone enters into an unknown, disorienting, confusing place that’s hard to get out of. It’s usually used metaphorically; you’re not actually in a physical place, but a mental place that’s confusing, disorienting, and hard to escape.

For example, if you start reading page after page of symptoms, you might end up misdiagnosing yourself. That’s going down a rabbit hole, when you probably just need some fresh air.
