mental labyrinth
Confusing thought patterns
A mental labyrinth is a state of confusion or complexity in one's thinking—a tangle of thoughts, worries, or decisions that feels difficult to navigate.
The phrase suggests being lost in one's own mind, unable to find a clear path forward: She spent weeks trapped in a mental labyrinth of guilt and second-guessing.
Unlike a simple problem, a mental labyrinth implies twists and dead ends that make resolution elusive.
