Kerria,I talked with my minister about this a few months ago. I absolutely trust this man, the spirit of God just shines from him.
I asked him if he believed suicides went to hell. He said, no not necessarily. Of course I guess it depends on the state of mind of the person at the time. But he said that he would certainly never judge someone himself or consign them to hell for having to escape intolerable pain.
That gave me great comfort.
