Alot of people in particuler catholics say that committing suicide is a ticket to hell. Ive thought about and contemplated this question many times and I don't believe it is. god is forgiveness and love therefore he wouldn't send you to hell for doing that. i believe it saddens providence to see a person kill themselves but does it anger him no it dosnt. God is love he dosnt punish but rather mourns for those who choose to end it all.

however, in answer to a related question, "is suicide ethical?" there are two standard positions: yes, or no.
Albert Camus says that suicide is a cowardly act because it is an escape from the absurdity and meaninglessness of life, the same way religion is. Camus was all about embracing life's absurdity ("the absurd" in this case meaning the fact that humans exist for no designated purpose, yet they want to believe that they do). According to Camus, it is better to face the harsh reality of life and laugh in its face than to be a pussy and kill yourself.
Kant says that suicide is also wrong, because if it was applied universally (if everyone committed suicide), then the world would not be a better place. Kant was all about universality of actions.
On the other hand, you have philosophers like Schopenhauer who say: ""They tell us that suicide is the greatest act of cowardice... that suicide is wrong; when it is quite obvious that there is nothing in the world to which every man has a more unassailable title than to his own life and person."
In cases of extreme mental or physical suffering, Objectivists (followers of Ayn Rand) believe that suicide is okay:
And who can forget Japanese samurai, whose code of honor encourages them to commit suicide to avoid being captured, so as to die an honorable death. In this situation, suicide is courageous.
Secondly--as has been pointed out--God does not judge or punish. We domesticated primates are real fucking good at that ourselves.
Third, suicide is a choice. Whether or not it actually serves our own best interests depends on the circumstances.
