My mental health is declining rapidly. I keep making bad jokes and everyone around me seems worried. I need to stop showing everybody how bad I am feeling unless I want to get hospitalized. Any tips?

Stop showing people how bad you are feeling would be a start :P
Joking aside, many learn to hide and slap on the fake smile, unless you are wanting help, in which case accept whateer comes your way

Sorry to hear. If I were you I would stop sharing my feelings and just get my method ready in case it gets unbearable. (Not trying to force you to CTB but that would be my plan)

Stop the jokes. If asked by anyone if you are suicidal say "NO". If you are in the USA immediate family can tell the police you are saying "you will kill yourself", then they can hospitalize you under the Baker act.
If you want help for your mental health, I guess it's time to be honest, unfortunately.
It's a shitty cycle and I hate it. I've been in psych wards 7 times(I believe maybe more), so I feel you.

I live in Austria. I guess I'll have to stop making jokes. I just started doing that to manage my mental health and suicidalness somehow. I don't know how to stop

I'm like that a little bit too...I will tell people that "I already am dead inside" and other various shit that probably sounds off to a mentally stable group of friends.
I hope nothing happens, good luck!

I didn't know you could get hospitalized just for jokes? If you stop making them though people will be less suspicious. And remember the golden rule for talk about suicide: "I'm safe, no plan, don't worry."
if you really need it though hospitalization can help. Mine sucked ass and helped me like 20% of my problems but at least that 20% was better than nothing

The hospital would be a terrible place to end up in indeed.
What is it that make your mental health rapidly declining?

Act normal and have mental breakdown when alone I find It helpful. Go full on crying sobbing or screaming if you can. If you don't have private space go with car somewhere and cry in car. Idk just idea cannot really help
