The orthodox church see's suicide as a sin as it is against God's will to take your own life. This is down to the belief that God created a persons life and thus, is the only one who has the right to end it. By committing suicide, the church see's you as having committed a major sin. Even if you have "wiped the slate clean" so to speak, of all sins before you commit suicide you have no chance of salvation as you have committed another sin by taking your own life. If that makes any sense.
