Threatened for trying to get help

So feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but usually one would assume that if someone makes enough suicide jokes that it would be assumed that there is something mentally unwell with the person saying them right? So I am not completely mentally stable, and make what would seem to me as a lighter side of suicide jokes as a way of reaching out for help because I am too stubborn to outright say that I'm not ok. And before anyone says to just go get help with it, I've already tried and was still met with a slightly lesser disciplinary action because it made its way back to my jobs' supervision that I had done so. Recently however I had made what I believed was again one of the lighter side of suicide jokes as a plea for help once again, but instead of a helping hand was instead the threat of disciplinary action. Now am I wrong to be taking this approach hoping that someone would pick up on my pleas, or am I just in a toxic workplace that couldn't care less?

P.S. I know there's no real "light side" of suicide jokes and that many people have lost loved ones.
