This term describes a depressive state where the person experiencing the downward spiral is getting more and more depressed, perhaps due to causes unknown. It is called a downward spiral because there is no way to stop it, its just going to get worse and worse... until the person crashes, and maybe finds their way back to happiness.
"I don't know what's causing it, but I just want to warn you that I'm on the downward spiral."
"seriously? I hope everything is ok."
or
"I hate my fucking job, my wife is cheating on me, and the only thing keeping me sane is my job with this new startup company that is slowly running out of money for us..."

Person may demonstrate extremely strong convictions of their perceived knowledge, especially where the issue is a) not that serious or b) no one is questioning said knowledge.

Dude, Ben had a bad case of SKitAllS last night. He sent like 30 texts in a row about these damn pedal bearings and how they weren’t serviceable, and anybody who objected was an idiot! What a stoned rant!

Get the SKitAllS mug.The spiral you descend into, much like Alice when she was in Wonderland, where you keep falling and have no sense of time. It starts with watching a video of a cat that your friend sent you, clicking a related clip of a baby laughing, to ultimately watching an R rated clip. You then come to your senses and realise you've just wasted 2 hours of your life watching pointless videos and vow never to do that again.
Friend: "What did you get up to today?"
Me: "I started off watching a cat video and then feel into a Youtube Spiral and wasted so many hours watching so many useless videos. I'm never going to fall into a Youtube Spiral again".
Friend: "Did you see the video of the cat playing the keyboard?"
Me: "No. Let me look it up now."
