Whenever I answer a question like this, I'm deeply aware that someone may be reading this who is seriously contemplating suicide—and I would do everything in my power to convince them not to take that final, drastic step. With Christ there is always hope.
God loves them; He loves them so much that Jesus Christ was willing to die on the cross for their salvation. And others care about them, as well (even if they have a hard time believing it). Suicide is never God's will, and even in the midst of life's worst storms we can look to Christ and discover that He truly is "an anchor for the soul, firm and secure" (Hebrews 6:19). The first step back from the brink of suicide is to turn to Christ and open our hearts to Him.
Suicide is always a tragedy—but in itself it is not the unpardonable sin. The only sin God cannot pardon is the sin of rejecting Him.
At the same time, ask God to help you be sensitive to the needs of others—especially someone who may be facing discouragement or depression. Often simply knowing that someone cares will help them turn the corner.

it all depends on the religion you follow.
According to the bible it is a mortal sin to commit suicide and as such means that you would more than likely go to hell.
Buddhism, other eastern religions, wiccanism and druidism all believe in reincarnation and as such means that you would be re-born into a different form of life to start over again.
Hindus and Sikhs believe that humans are the top of evolution and to be human is a privialge. To deny yourself this privilage by committing suicide will make you regress and as such would have to work harder in your next life to become human again.
Muslims do not believe in suicide as they surround their lives by the teachings of God. The islamic religion believes that God is the highest being and as such only he has the power to take away lives.
Judaism regards suicide as a criminal act and somone that commits suicide is a murderer. His or Her soul is trapped in limbo becuase it cannot move on to the spirit worlds as it is not the right time and it cannot return to its body. Limbo is a painful place or so the jews believe.
So in answer to your question having looked at the evidence from the majority of the well known religions, NO, commiting suicide will not bring you to God's kingdom.

No, because suicide if killing oneself and killing is a sin against a Commandment. Plus, if you kill yourself, you're dead and can't ask for forgiveness. You can take it back and ask God for a second chance.
I hope you aren't considering it. If you are, call a suicide prevention hotline in your area now and get that help. Life isn't always fair and isn't always easy but that means it's fair and easy the rest of the time. God bless!

Suicide is a very complicated issue. Our spirit is a powerful
being. Our thoughts create our reality, and we have free will.
If one wants to die, in order to experience no more pain. That
desire can transfer over into spirit. And that person will
end up in state of spiritual "unawareness".
Still alive spiritually, but "asleep, dead". No awareness. And a
spirit can live in such a state a long time, as far as earth years
are concerned.

That depends on a whole lot of things. Did you do it to save others? Clara Maass allowed herself to be bitten by mosquitos know she might die, doing it to save others. Petty Officer 2nd Class Michael Monsoor committed suicide by throwing himself on a grenade to save his comrades. The 9/11 firefighters and police knew it was very likely they wouldn't get home that night when they walked into the wtc.

If you kill yourself you will be wasting your life. Your home will be in a coffin under 6 feet of dirt. Not that you'll care, because you will cease to exist. Suicide always hurts the loved ones that are left behind.

Suicide is often the result of mental illness and/or desparate circumstances. A person who is suffering should seek help, both supernaturally by prayer, and through the provision God has made here on earth in medicine, counseling and the church.
A person gains entrance into God's Kingdom through Jesus Christ.
John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
God wants you to live and to enjoy Him on this earth as you experience the abundant life that Jesus spoke about giving to all who come to Him. The Devil wants to get you to kill yourself so that another person who was created in God's image will be wiped off the face of this planet.
John 10:7 So Jesus again said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9 I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. 11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
If you are considering commiting suicide then I would strongly urge you to seek God in prayer through the name of Jesus so that you might receive grace in time of need to see you through what ever it is that is troubling you.
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
14 Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

The thing about suicide is that it is the only sin that you can't repent or turn from. Will God let you in? I think that if you ask that ? God is leading you away from those thoughts already so don't resist His leading!!!!!
