Has it been repotted during that timeframe? It may be ready for fresh soil and/or fertilizer!

Likely a problem with low household humidity or with water too much or too little. This is one of the few plants (and I have 70) that I just couldn’t keep happy. I watered too soon just ONE time, but I also live in a very dry climate.

The plant lacks water since the leaves are folded and droopy. It also lacks sufficient light to bring out the silver markings on the leaves and darken the green. That skull is not helping if it is sitting on the plant. It can damage the vines and slow the soil from drying out.  
Ensure the plant gets regular fertilizer. It should look similar to the attached picture.
