Well, first of all, there's only one real way to find out!

Secondly, I wouldn't blame someone whom I loved and who loved me from trying to come to me ASAP.

So...what I gleaned from that was
a) you're a zombie/ghost
and
b) you don't know

I asked because I've heard from many at my Catholic high school (I'm personally not Catholic, by the way) that if you commit suicide, it's straight off to Hell for you.  That seems a little mean.
"I believe every single person is extraordinary. The tragedy is that we
have a society where too many people never get to fulfill that
extraordinary potential. My view – the liberal view – is that
government’s job is to help them to do it. Not to tell people how to
live their lives. But to make their choices possible, to release their
potential, no matter who they are. The way to do that is to take power away from those who hoard it. To challenge vested interests. To break down privilege. To clear out the bottlenecks in our society that block opportunity and block progress. And so give everyone a chance to live the life they want." - Nick Clegg, Leader of the Liberal Democrats and Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom

Yes, I believe that's a standard Catholic belief. At least it's the one I've always heard. But if you kill yourself and don't get to Heaven, they might be right.

I'm not going to test that out.

As far as I understand it, suicide is not some kind of "unforgivable sin."  None of this heaven/hell stuff is as simplistic as people try to make it.

I've never honestly considered suicide, so I can't tell you what the mindset is... I'm sure it varies from person to person.  But I do know my God has compassion on the weak.

The wretched King Minos has decided your fate. His tale wraps around his body 7 times.
The sweet light no longer strikes against your eyes. Your shade has been banished to... the Seventh Level of Hell!
Seventh Level of Hell

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Guarded by the Minotaur, who snarls in fury, and encircled within the river Phlegethon, filled with boiling blood, is the Seventh Level of Hell. The violent, the assasins, the tyrants, and the war-mongers lament their pitiless mischiefs in the river, while centaurs armed with bows and arrows shoot those who try to escape their punishment. The stench here is overpowering. This level is also home to the wood of the suicides- stunted and gnarled trees with twisting branches and poisoned fruit. At the time of final judgement, their bodies will hang from their branches. In those branches the Harpies, foul birdlike creatures with human faces, make their nests. Beyond the wood is scorching sand where those who committed violence against God and nature are showered with flakes of fire that rain down against their naked bodies. Blasphemers and sodomites writhe in pain, their tongues more loosed to lamentation, and out of their eyes gushes forth their woe. Usurers, who followed neither nature nor art, also share company in the Seventh Level.


Here is how you matched up against all the levels:
(Click on a level for more info)
Level Who are sent there? Score

Level 1 - Limbo  Virtuous Non-Believers  Moderate
Level 2  Lustful  Moderate
Level 3  Gluttonous  Low
Level 4  Prodigal and Avaricious  Very Low
Level 5  Wrathful and Gloomy  High
Level 6 - The City of Dis  Heretics  Very Low
Level 7  Violent  Very High
Level 8- the Malebolge  Fraudulent, Malicious, Panderers  High
Level 9 - Cocytus  Treacherous  Very Low
