You keep coming back to your mental health issues.

Before you donate to charity you should try to make sure you don't wind up in a position to need charity (and yes, this is not something one has full control over, but an F4 shattering your house to toothpicks is a very different thing from getting thrown out of your apartment because you were incapacitated for a couple months and got reduced/no pay). Save your money or spend it on specialists/treatments likely to reduce your problems.

This will wind up cascading into other areas of your life.

That's roughly what mum says to, based on less rationality but a lot more info. So I guess I'll just continue trusting her then.

Has your mom ever given you a good reason to distrust her motives?

No. But she have given me reason to distrust her rationality and understanding when it comes to efficient charity.
