Hi, I am wanting to find out if anyone believes that if you take your own life that you are then stuck in Limbo until your time has come???

If you are referring to purgatory as limbo, my answer is yes I do. The Catholic teaching on purgatory is supported by many verses in Scripture and Sacred Tradition.
Regarding your question on suicide, we are responsible for this life given to us by God. It is God who remains the Supreme Master of our life. We are responsible to preserve it for God's glory and the salvation of our soul. We are only Stewards, not owners, of the life God has entrusted to us. It is not ours to dispose of. If we assist someone to commit suicide we are just as guilty. If we commit suicide to set an example to others (example: suicide bombers) the gravity of the sin becomes greater. I do not know whether a person who commits suicide will go to hell or purgatory. That's up to God.
May the Lord's peace be with you!

Time has come ? No, there is no biblical or historical proof of limbo, unless you're talking about the dance.
If you commit suicide, which is one of the very few unforgiveable sins, you are supposed to not be saved and therefore will die the 2nd death, as referred in the Bible- awakening just in time for the white throne judgement and lake of fire. makes sense right, b/c you're an avid studious bible student ? ha ! find some proof behind what paid, child molesting idiots in a fancy robe tell you -before you swallow everything they have to say hook, line and sinker.

I think that it is possible to be a spirit existence here on the physical plane and I think that happens when we are conflicted on in a deep depression at the time of our death. In that case, yes - it is possible for suicide to help you get into a state known as Limbo. To get out you must be "shown the light" literally. Go towards the light - or so I am told.
Peace!

Limbo was where unbaptised babies went, and the Catholic church did away with it in the 60s.

No the bible says to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. For judgement.

No...suicide forces reincarnation immediately. A person who committed suicide get's no afterlife, they get thrown back here...to live another life.
