I've been told otherwise, because you can't ask forgiveness after committing suicide.
On the forum for Catholic Answers I was told that suicide isn't considered a sin by the Catholic church anymore. The reasoning was that sin has to be an act that you commit on purpose and with full knowledge that you are sinning. A person suffering severe depression might not be fully comprehend their actions. At least, that is what I remember being told. It has been many years since I visited that forum so I might have their rational a bit muddled but I do remember that several of the posters claimed that suicide wasn't a sin anymore
