One common English expression that is rarely used by English learners is carried away.
If someone is carried away with something, it means they have been performing some action to an unhealthy extreme, or they are making a quick judgment. The expression is most often used in the negative to warn somebody who is at the risk of being carried away.
Example:
#1) A little exercise is good for you, but don't get carried away.
#2) I know your wallet is missing and you think Kevin took it, but don't get carried away with your accusations. Maybe you left it somewhere.
#3) You always get carried away with your work. You should really learn to ask other people for help.
#4) I know your angry with him for lying to you, but don't get carried away. He's still your brother.
