At least run something down into and loosen that soil a bit. Probably full of watering tunnels that need to be collapsed for thorough proper water absorption.

they're right, that looks like too much water is being exposed to the plant due to bad drainage. Get yourself a 3 gallon planting pot with water run-off on the bottom (Home Depot $12). Change the soil and cut back your watering. That thing is drowning. Once you get fresh soil and reduce the water content you should see it bounce back. The good thing is these plants are extremely durable, so you're not sunk yet.

If you don't want to get a new pot, drill holes in the bottom of the bucket and put some sort of overflow plate on the bottom, it will do the same thing.

The way I see it is this plant is fucked!
Would is be a good idea to just put her straight into the ground, I have a nice spot for her in my backyard, she might be exposed to more bugs but thats not too much of a problem, Ill be happy if she give me 2 ounces in the end

Drill multiple 1/2" holes in the bottom of the bucket, make sure the water doesn't come out and electrocute you or ruin the drill.

Same thing happened to my plant when there was a big rain and it water logged my plant. Once I drained it and the sun was on it for a couple hours it stood back up just like before, so like the others say it's probably from the plant being water logged and in need of drainage.
