If you believe christian teachings, suicides go to hell unless they are sacrificing themselves on purpose for a greater cause in which case they might get to heaven. In reality, when you kill yourself you die. You don't get a second chance. You don't get any regrets. You end any possibility for reconciliation with those still alive. There is no heaven, no hell, no nothing.

Catholics believe suicide when committed in full knowledge and deliberate consent is a complete turning away from God (a mortal sin) and will send a person to hell.

There are 3 conditions of a mortal sin: grave matter, full knowledge, and deliberate consent.

While suicide (or any kind of murder) is always a grave matter, people who commit suicide may not always have full knowledge of what they're doing. Drugs can definitely impair one's thinking, as can other things, such as diseases, intense pain, or anguish.

Therefore, suicide is not automatically treated as a mortal sin.

We are commanded by Christ not to judge others so we leave final judgment to God who alone knows each person's heart.

With love and prayers in Christ.
