IA. There's no way of knowing what the friends story is, but even if they haven't mentioned any IRL problems to OP it doesn't mean they don't have any. Sometimes RL problems are difficult to discuss and you would rather focus on something that isn't so serious.

And who knows, they might be so upset about fandom events because fandom is the place they turn for support or distraction. Even a relatively small negative event can have a huge impact on you if there are lots of other (big or small) things wrong in your life.

(I once sat on the floor and cried for ten minutes after spilling coffee grounds. I was not that upset about spilling coffee, it was caused by built up frustration, stress and depression.)

Not saying this is the case for certain, but...just saying you can't always know. If fandom is the only issue then they should probably take a break, see if they enjoy it more when they come back. However, it's their decision and if you don't want to hear it anymore then all you can really do is try changing the subject, tell them about how you feel, or stop talking to them for the time being.
