Are there any phrases or colloquialisms used by Spanish speakers that have the same meaning as when an English person says 'everything went downhill' (as in - everything got worse/ everything started to get really bad)??
Thank you!

Todo salió un desmadre / Todo fue a la chingada / Todo salió una mierda.
These are from Mexico and should only be used with people who you know well. I´m sure there are many more from other countries.

I love how much Mexican slang revolves around parents. "Está padre", "Me vale madre" - HackerKing, Nov 21, 2015
