God wouldn’t want you to suffer. I’m not saying I condone suicide Or anything I just wanted to point that out.. there’s people in the Bible that have committed suicide and one of them was even a king selected by God (Saul). And Saul “fell on his sword” mid battle which I think signifies that if a struggle is so strong and you know the outcome will be too painful there is a way out. Once again I’m not condoning suicide I’m just trying to prove that it’s not a sin.
Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell slain on Mount Gilboa. Then the Philistines followed hard after Saul and his sons. And the Philistines killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua, Saul's sons. The battle became fierce against Saul. The archers hit him, and he was severely wounded by the archers.
Then Saul said to his armorbearer, "Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised men come and thrust me through and abuse me."
But his armorbearer would not, for he was greatly afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword and fell on it. And when his armorbearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell on his sword, and died with him.
— 1 Samuel 31:1-5, NKJV[2]
