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..."

the term downward spiral is commonly used to describe depression and/or drug abuse, but can be applied to anything that starts out bad and just gets worse and worse and worse.
a downard spiral is illustrated in the book and movie Requiem For A Dream.
basic plot-
use a drug once
use it again
and again
and again
get an addiction
spend all your money on your addiction
start selling the drug to make money to pay for the addiction
use the drugs for yourself instead of selling them to pay for your own (why you should never sell the drug you do, if you sell at all)
fuck yerself over so badly you die, possibly from overdose, maybe you get shot by a drug dealer, maybe you kill yerself because you realize youve fucked your life over.
