Charmeleon, attack!

Yeah I reckon. I think mum's on the Lifeline thing now, finally, I hope this works out good :D Though it's times like these I wish I was a fully qualified psychologist, I'd so love to be an actual help here than just passing around phone numbers haha.

Telling her to call these numbers is an actual help, in this stressful situation she might not be thinking clearly and something like that might now occur to her. What exactly leads her to believe he's planning on killing himself? I mean I know he's not eating or sleeping and all that but that is common breakup behavior, is there more to it than just that?
 
She spoke to me just then. She told me that the people on the other end were no help at all. She got transferred to other lines but some of them were just apathetic and uncaring. I asked her how did she know he was going to, and is she sure. She says that he actually told her he was planning to kill himself tomorrow, and that he drinks alcohol because it makes him feel better. Mum asked him for just 24 hours so she could get help. I suggested he go to a mental health institute where help could be provided but they both might be skeptical of that. Mum tells me that he once walked into a hospital about an hour from me, and asked for help on quitting his drug addiction, and apparently they laughed at him and gave him some crappy treatment (years ago). Hmm =/

I'm making it a goal to have $1400 by the end of January. I need to save and get out of debt and save money for my mum;s birthday and stationery shopping in February. Bah, I hate spending money.
Edit: I already have $997 of that, just need $403 more, minus $120 for rent ($60 on the 15th and 31st).
 
So I started a new blog called Enlightment Dot Net *waits for the succession of face-palms*.

Haha, no really. What I want to do is blog about basic stuff like teaching the scientific method, and basic logic/philosophy stuff. Not in a pragmatic way either, I'm going to go off of the stuff I was taught, which I think I have a good grasp on...but might need a refresher before I start.
Anyway, just thought I'd start it, 'cause I want to help those who seem to have misconceptions on these things.
