In Matthew 11:28, Jesus says, “Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” He knows that this life is difficult, so He wants to remove the burdens we carry. We may suffer for a little while, there may be great pain at times, but Jesus will carry us through the hard times. He promises, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you" (Heb. 13:5b). Remember that, no matter how bleak a situation may appear, it is only temporary in the scope of eternity with Christ. Rest in that hope, that promise.
Taking your own life because you are in despair only means that you have failed to put your trust and hope in the Lord. God created us so who are we to say that we know better? Can the invention say to the inventor how he is suppose to function? Proverbs 3:5-6 says Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.
The Bible may not directly say that suicide is a sin but what are your motives for doing so? Some people may say that it is the honorable and courageous thing to do but the ones who say this are only basing this on their own understanding.
