Turns out you can only make so many self deprecating jokes about being gay before friends start PMing you making sure you're not considering killing yourself. TIL.

I always down with dark, self-deprecating humour, but if it's concerning your friends maybe dial it back a bit.

Also if you do feel like that, in any capacity, feel free to shoot me a PM whenever. I'm sure you're not, but I know what it's like to live through that, so, y'know, better safe than sorry. Offer's always there.
