I don't think it is. I mean, people usually kill themselves to escape a life they find unbearable. So wouldn't it be really, really screwed up for God to give them an even worse existence for this?

I considered maybe it could be some sort of punishment for leaving family and friends in grieving, but that would make it even more screwed up, both for the reasons already mentioned, and to those who were left grieving and then unable to reunite in the afterlife.

While there is nothing in the scriptures saying not to, we can extract various characteristics and things God says in other arenas. He instructs that we are to put our trust in him, commit our lives to him, and to go out into the world and spread the gospel. Suicide counters that, it is as if you are taking your own agenda and placing it above God's plan.

It is disrespect for the life that God gave you...
Your mother carried you but even she cannot explain at what point you became alive.
Jehovah God is the only explanation.

It depends on the reason a person wants to end his life.

A sin is an offense against God. God gave us life. It is His gift to us, and He requires an accounting for how we have lived in the flesh. The Bible shows this in Ecclesiastes chapter 12 where it says that, at death, the spirit returns to God who gave it, and then we have to account for how we lived.

We need to try to understand the processes that lead a person to take their own life. There is usually a great deal of sin involved in the lead-up (often gross sins committed against an innocent person). The suicidal person goes beyond misery to despair - utter hopelessness. They have no hope in God to deliver them. They disbelieve God's promises and provisions for sinners. Now, perhaps their thinking has been so fouled up that they cannot think straight, yet the Bible shows that Jesus delivered such people. Nobody is beyond the reach of God's saving grace. Tragically, the suicidal person has decided that they are beyond God's reach.

They are just as much sinners as everyone else is, even if they don't commit suicide - and all sin has to be punished according to God's law. Even someone who does not seem much of a sinner to you is still a sinner and needs to repent. All who repent and trust in God's provision to be spared judgment will avoid hell. But to take your own life indicates that you do NOT trust in God's provision to be spared judgment. That person has judged themselves to be 'unworthy' of life and has decided to end their own God-given life. There can be no greater lack of faith than that. They are in a truly precarious situation.

Yes it is... Life is a gift from God, not something to be abused or to end at one’s own hand. (James 1:17) Hence, the Scriptures encourage us to see ourselves, not as immortal souls, but as valuable creations of the God who loves us, who treasures our being alive, and who looks forward with joy to the time of the resurrection.—Job 14:14, 15.
Love strengthens our recognition that suicide—though evading one’s own burdens—only heaps more problems on loved ones left behind. As far as the one who rashly took his own life is concerned, we humans cannot judge as to whether he will get a resurrection or not. How reprehensible was he? God alone searches ‘all hearts and every inclination of the thoughts.’ (1 Chronicles 28:9) But we may be confident that ‘the Judge of all the earth is going to do what is loving, just, and right!’—Genesis 18:25.

It is a sin because you don't own your life, Jesus does and you are just borrowing it. You decide everyday choices but at the end of the day God has a set plan for you. If you commit suicide, you are basically taking your life away from him and you aren't believing in him and his plan for you.
