Anyone who is faced with considering suicide as an option must realize not only that it is NOT an option, but that things are not nearly as bad or as bleak as he or she thinks they may be. I would urge anyone in such a situation to pick up the telephone right now and contact the local rectory or Catholic Church office. If there is no answer, contact the diocesian office and explain the problem. If you can not get help from any of these sources, immediately call the suicide hotline:

In the U.S., call 1-800-273-8255. Remember that there are people praying for you right now, and there are all the saints and angels in heaven doing the same. Every single person on this earth has a guardian angel assigned just to them. And one guardian angel is so powerful that they, alone, could destroy the whole world. That guardian angel loves you and has been assigned by God to nothing else then to look out for you. Say a prayer right now to whoever is your Guardian Angel, and ask for their help. Remember that they are not physical being. The help you receive will be mental and spiritual but it will be the help that you need to do the right thing - so pick up that phone!

Answer

There is really no way of knowing, but most religions feel suicide is a final end.

Biblical Answer:

Yes, to the promised judgement process:

Revelation 20:11-15New King James Version (NKJV) The Great White Throne Judgment11 Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. 12And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. 14Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

Catholic Answer

Everybody was created to live forever, everybody "comes back to life", the question is: what kind of life do you come back to? For the vast majority of people living, from what we know from private revelations, and from Our Blessed Lord's own words in the Gospel, the vast majority of people come "back to life" in hell for an eternity of suffering.

The Catholic teaching regarding suicide is very clear: everyone is responsible for his life before God who has given it to him. It is God who remains the sovereign Master of life. We are obliged to accept life gratefully and preserve it for his honor and the salvation of our souls. We are stewards, not owners, of the life God has entrusted to us. It is not ours to dispose of.

Voluntary suicide and co-operation in suicide is contrary to the moral law. (all of the above is taken from paragraphs 2280-2283 of the Catechism.

Please do not think that God's mercy extends past your death, His justice comes into play and He must be judge, if you transgress His laws, you pay the price - eternally. As our life is not our own, it belongs to the one who gave it to us. This is difficult for modern people to accept from several angles. For instance, it is difficult to admit that our whole being is contingent on another, and is not our own. It is difficult to realize that we are asked to face our problems and that we can not just "check out" if we find the going too rough. It is very difficult to realize that this "solution" to life's problems is not only NOT a solution but actually makes things much worse as we are faced with losing our salvation, and that is not just a rough day, a rough year, or even a rough lifetime, that is an unbelievably miserable eternity of suffering.
