From my understanding the bible says that your life is not your own, and so by taking your life it is murder, and the way to be forgiven is to ask for forgiveness, but you can do that if you've killed yourself. Make sense?
I am uncertain if you go to hell for killing yourself, I believe that every instance is looked at in a different light.
I know that the bible says that people who are either under the age of accountability or mentally instable are not damned, so depending on the mental state at the time, that could also have something to do with it.
It's really hard to answer though, it's something I guess you can't REALLY know until you are in His presence, because there is some gray area in matters of personal conviction.
That's my opinion anyway.

My cousin committed suicide. I was very troubled in spirit. I prayed to the Lord about it.
The Lord brought to mind, my cousin going to church camp. That he had been born again. A child of God.
The following Sunday the Pastor preached that there were 2 people before God. The first, the Lord said "Well done my faithful servant, great is your reward.". Etc.... The second person, The Lord said that he had fallen away, but he was still his child." The Lord let him into the Kingdom, but couldn't give him the rewards, the Lord had purposed to give. (I sent a copy of the message to my Aunt.)
To me, this was cofirmation that what I felt in my spirit was true. That my cousin was in heaven with the Lord. (Just that all the lies of the devil & unforgiveness got fried & didn't go to heaven with.) The other person who had also died that year, people were saved at her funeral. She was a great young woman of faith. She died because of doctor errors. So, also my Uncles Nephew died young, and people were saved at his funeral also. Doctors errors too. (Chemotherapy ruined their bodies)

Nobody knows who is saved and unsaved. Jesus's gift is for everyone, sinners included.
