Original Sin makes us all a sinner.
As far as suicide and sin goes... I believe that it was only a sin if you completed the attempt and lost lost your life.
Now, I say "Was" because even the Catholic Church now avoids calling people who commit suicide "sinners" because they accept that illnesses can make people do that - and it can't be determined that the deceased wasn't sick or unaware of the consequences of what they were doing at the time.
Remember, to sin, you have to know that it's wrong and willingly do it in full knowledge of the fact that it's wrong.
