Mental Health is essential ......we need to learn that its okay not to be okay . We need to learn to control our tongues and always say kind words to people because you don't know what they going through.
AMEN ❤️❤️❤️✨🙏so beautifully said Bless you
So thankful for the opportunity to have been featured and given the opportunity to share my story alongside Sis Thandi with everyone. I hope you find healing and hope in it and remember you are not alone. Most importantly, remember that the story changes, You Win!
It was such a great pleasure to have you on the show and thank you for the inspiration that you are! ❤️
@@relebogilemabotja215 thank you so so so much ❤️
We are here for you! Great Job Tshepi and Thank You for sharing your story
@@simatra306 thank you so much Sim!
I cant wait to watch
I cannot thank you enough for the opportunity to share my story with everyone. Telling our stories is part of our daily healing. I am sure Mmatshepo will agree with me. I pray our opening up about our mental issues helps others out there to seek help. Never forget to BREATH & PRAY 🙏 God Restores. You will have your next chapter and you will be stronger. I am always available to talk.
Thank you for sharing your story.
If you don’t mind me asking, what’s the name of the hospital you went to?
Thank you so much for joining us Thandi! It’s really our pleasure. I applaud the courage you had to share your story and your lowest points in life. That in itself is not easy. I’m confident that all our viewers will be educated and more understanding about mental health after listening to this interview
I love Sis Thandi. Her story resonates so much with me, her experiences and mine very similar. Battled mental ossues for thr longest time, from as early as 13 although I wasn't sure what to label it as yet. Now, the only things I need is to be a savvy businesswoman like she is! It will happen. P.S you're a beautiful woman Sis Thandi. Thank you for sharing us with you!
Thandi❤...how good is God's work sisi 🙏.. listening to you unpack...how brave you ladies are...I applaud you ladies for telling your stories...as we will be hosting your brainchild...Doek on fleek UK this Saturday...we are moved sisi...I speak from a Mental health professional view...You guys have overcome a lot🙏🙏🙏Thankyou Relebogile for this platform...❤
Thank you beautiful woman for sharing your story💕
Sisi Lebo and your team I hope you'll consider to have an episode about mental health experienced by men, and also families who have family members who have mental health, their experience with having to deal with someone you love going through mental health. As someone who has been diagnosed with mental health (depression) I wouldn't have been sane or at a better place if I didn't have my family, especially my dad. They need to tell their story too, to the world to help those who don't know how to be supportive to their love ones or be better at supporting their love ones. 🌻
Thank you 🙏🏾
Such a great idea.
In these kinda episodes, I become speechless, my tears do the talking 😭
Who else is here after seeing a clip from Tick tock?
Hey sis Lebo, in the interest of destigmatising mental health we also need to be mindful of the language we use. Some politically correct and less stigmatizing terms are: Pyschiatric Healthcare Facilities/ Mental Health Units/Behavioural Healthcare Facilities. "Mental Institution" only feeds into the stigma.
So it is true when they say self esteem is the key to positive mental health and helps one to handle adversity.
I hope both ladies find peace.
Really sad how adults bully children verbally and physically and scar them mentally. Sometimes for life. These adults fail these innocent children. Tragic.
Tshepi was once on CENTWINZ - her story still stands out for me.
Childhood traumas will always come disrupt your life if not dealt with 😭
One's life becomes mess emotionally. I'm still having a hard time coping and making peace with my disappointments as a child,but I hope all will be well in due time
I admire the courage of these two amazing ladies. Mental illness is still a taboo in our comminity. Most of us walk around with undiagnosed mental illnesses. Thank you for putting a spotlight on the issue.
Receiving true gospel through Jesus Christ helps alot whilst going through in life, I fell, crushed, pressed by situations and faced them directly through Him who gives me power. We do not run away from issues of life. I am so excited ladies you are strong
True, I also have a testimony I overcame depression with nothing else but God through Jesus Chris, please, I am not saying people should not get help, just giving my own personal experience 🙏🏾
This show is life hey....it tackles the hard core issues in our society.....kudos to the unpacked team and the guests for their bravery.
Sensitive issue, mind blowing, trying to be normal whilst the mind says3: No, I can't function, I'm suffocating...
Walking into fresh air, breaking exercise helps, talking to someone who cares 🛐
Thanks Kelebogile...
Kakhulu hey
I like they way you give people time to pour out their hearts to you without any interruption you only ask questions at the right time you are such a professional
Mental health is in our communities, our homes and we need to learn and do better than those before us. Thank you ladies.
Also mental institutions are not "isbedlele samageza". We grew up listening to our elders saying that and believing that. Let's learn and be better. 🌻
💯
Very true and these things are hidden in that' you'll shame your family name '
Mmatshepo’s mom sounds so loving. I can only imagine how it must’ve been so hard for her too.
dude.... watching this guy hurt your child over and over again, and helping her pick up the pieces for years to come haai no
@@kamogelodorries4434when you keep a child away, you're accused of coming between father-&-child relationship. You tell your child "It's not you, it's him". You're accused of poisoning the child against the father.
Am a big fan of Unpack from Tanzania.
Today's guests are so beautiful and their journeys will save so many lives. The interviewer is brilliant as usual 🙏
My father passed away when I was 6years this year is 21years without him, my point is atleast for that 6years we spended together he gave me love & happyness .it's worse to have a father for your whole life and you doesn't know his love, I feel sorry for those people who have absent fathers. after 3years of my father's passing my mother also passed away but I know her love this year is 17years without her but I'm stronger today because I know their love.
Sorry for your loss Zonke

Greetings from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺!!! I have been living outside of South Africa for 40 years. My family migrated when I was 5. I just discovered these uploads and I'm obsessed!!! And so very very homesick 😔. Watching this episode, I keep thinking "Ke ing ka bo ntate ba rona???" Is it just me, or there plenty of issues to be discussed about our African fathers? Perhaps there are cultural and historic answers there. Have you already explored this issue?
From when I subscribed,I don't think it has been tapped deeper.
This is unpacking for real!Takes you where you don't want to go and make you question how you made it through it all
I also suffered those panic attacks and all that was because of being fatherless but my mothers family were quick to say its spiritual attacks and that's its demons till to this day I haven't received any medication or counselling. When I experience those attacks they call my pastor, this is so painful.
You have to stop them and your Pastor because you know what's bothering you😔 you don't need prayer you need to get medication and counseling
Askies Ntando, this life, hope you find healing
If you are a Christian, start listening to Joyce Meyer if you are not, she is very practical on a lot of issues.
@@cnmabona9431 I will check it out, thank you
I just remembered how I used to be told I'm beautiful if only my nose wasn't big🤣😂the day that stopped I told someone "well it's situated where it should be so deal with it" this happened in my early 30s
Wtf🙄🤡🤡
I understand this. It was the same for me about my lips 🤣😭😭
@@chumisangewu9284 and your lips are gorgeous my Queen umhle futhi 😍
@@stellamooibedi9027 awww thank you hun ❤ nawe futhi!! 😍😍😍😍❤️❤️
Being handed over to "my mothers mother ". At 6 to take care of her ruined my life that was the worst thing to have happened to me and yes I know I'm responsible for my life but damn if I ever have kids I pray I'm the only one that raises them
We are here unpacking 😍😍😍
Yay
Let’s unpack sisi 🙃
I sometimes think our people believe that saying negative things to others build strength,what they don't know is that it cuts deeper and the wounds never heal.
We are done with tough love now, we want soft and caring nature, this thing of being told o dom or you are ugly and we must just take it in, nooo, i throw tantrums lately and make it known that i am soft, fragile and emotional
@@pointa2b388 I totally agree 😊I laughed the other someone said to me imbokodo and I said hell no I ain't a rock but a marshmallow if put in your mouth I melt,I deserve kindness and love
Listening to all of this makes me so sad hey, coming to think of the fact that people at times makes decisions to protect their own happiness not realising how their decisions would affect the life of the next person like for lifeeeee! So informative interview hey. Big ups to the team.
Lesson from Thandi's story : Stay away from men!
Unpacked No.1 fan is hereeeeeeee😍This show is medicine akere♡♡♡
Noooo 🙃
I’m fan number 1!!!
LoL I can’t imagine anyone loving the show more than I do 🤣
Tltltl...Sipho I have beeen here from first episode tlheee.I have been telling every one in my life about this show.I was the first subscriber mtase😂😍....Well,I just give you my seat foe today ONLYYY neh.For peace sake
Our generation must break the cycle. We must build open homes, where Mental health issues are discussed
How are we sailing through this life thingy? How are we coping honestly,and why are we not kind to one another??😭😭😭These stories we resonate with them so much. And it's comforting to know we're not alone. Thanks Relebogile for giving us the platform 😭❤️❤️
This is so painful and it makes me feel better to know that there are people out there who go through the same thing I do and made it out. Thank you for sharing
Watching in a taxi on my way home ❤️❤️❤️I really, really, really, really, really love your show ❤️
Listening to these, I want to cry. These stories resonate so deeply. Yoh 😭😭yoh yoh yoh guys☹️
U are not alone sweetheart.
I enjoy being alone coz when I'm with people I easily get triggered by small things like late coming, being yelled at and so forth.
My dating life is a complete mess, I can even date someone for 5 days then I'm done.
It's abnormal and it's weird, I know mara I do anyway and when I say I'm done, I mean it.
@@mbalenhlezulu8075 girl same😭😭😭I kid you not...and it’s literally the smallest things Yoh. I don’t even want to begin to think about my dating life nje, it’s honestly just another pandemic.
Not sure how it’ll get better nje but also being alone is everything 😏🌚
I honestly relate with the anxiety and panic attacks. Running away doesn’t help . Mental education is so important 🥺
Mental health is real, we need to be kind at people around us. Thank You for sharing your stories
Relebogile you are such a good listener.
I'm so proud of the beautiful young ladies. Mental health issues are always overlooked and we grew up being told that Africans don't get depressed yet people are dying inside. Keep it up girls. Relebogile I really appreciate you girl. We look forward to watching your programme as you just don't make us laugh / cry but girl you bring light to us as well. Keep it up
Yoh Relebogile, are we not all depressed mare, listening to these ladies, i can pick up certain things in my life, thank you for beautiful talks always
I have sleep apnea. Sometimes I just stop breathing in my sleep. It feels like my mind forgot to tell my lungs to breath. &now I’m fighting to breath. But I don’t have much control since I’m sleeping. Like sleep paralysis.
Funny enough, I also grew up without a dad but for some reason I can not relate to all these stories about absent dads am I the only one? I honestly don't care he chose to leave when I was a few months old met him when I was 19yrs. I am not moved by any of that. Not critising anyone am just saying maybe there is something wrong with me.
I am with you in this one.He was absent and never bothered me
They say the brain has a way to box emotions that we are not ready to deal with. It's like a defence mechanism. Some people in a long run when the brain is mature enough to deal with boxed emotions, one tends to react. Unfortunately we then mostly react negatively if not well addressed . The I DON'T CARE or NOT MOVED emotion is also a way to deal with his absence it doesn't make you a bad person 9r a weak or strong person or cold, NO. That 8s just your brain dealing with that specific emotion.
Please let's watch how we talk to our young ones and always check their state of mind when they seem withdrawn 🙏 these women didn't need to go through this
Thank you for opening up ladies, your stories are really helping other young people to consider taking their mental health issues, as urgency to get help. We would really love an episode where males also talk about how mental illness have affect them.
This show! 🙌 Ladies you are very strong and courageous. God bless you all. Hope you are healing well
It's very important for us to learn about mental health....
People don’t understand how important this is
@@relebogilemabotja215 I for one lost myself at some stage started therapy last year and the healing journey is not easy.
Some parents/guardians are toxic. We need to have start having that conversation...yes/no?
There are those family members you should cut from your life if you can: Always pointing out the negatives, dragging you down. As for men, yall need to do better, take care of what you made. Simple, no need to be a millionaire to take care of your child🙄
Let's unpack
Love the show!
Lebo your guests honestly are an inspiration! You're doing an amazing job!
I am addicted to this channel💕💞
Mental health, if we can understand that mental health is like diabetics. You can never see diabetic but you know it exists. Only blood test can say hei diabetes is here, so as mental health it is can never be seen but your brain, emotions and psychic can tell you I am here
The absent father story struck a code in her.. @Relebogile for giving this zambian girl something to look forward to watching. I love your show and topics 👸.
We have to normalise this thing called being emotional in the bigger scheme of things because we are called emotional when we voice out things we dont like
I am so inlove with this show.. learning everyday
Thank you for allowing the ladies time to share their stories.
Relebogile you are amazing and such a beautiful woman inside and out. Thanks for this amazing channel I've been binge watching u now 🇿🇦💖
My cup of and biscuits ready,so now let's unpack. Bathong Rele outstanding 👏 😍 as per usual.
Why I hadn't become subscriber I do no t know but now I am. I love the topics as a psychology student. Well done Rele, keep it up. 🇿🇼watching from the 🇬🇧
Mental health issues are more than just a panic attack and anxiety, thank you for the ladies for enlighten us more about their mental illness.
The father pain😭my mother experienced not having both her parents, I experienced not knowing my father,it hurts like hell,though I'm learning to make peace with it, part of me longs to know,my 1st daughter is also experiencing it,the father is doing what yours did to you.i am strong and there for her as much as I can...I want her to go to therapy, but she says she's not ready yet,but I must give her time...
🤗🤗
@@boipelon1220 by the way Pelo you share a name with my Daughter 🤗🤗Boipelo jwa me,I named her that because I was proud that God chose me to be her mother❤❤despite the circumstances.
Ahh 🤗🤗🤗
Thank you beautiful ladies for sharing your life stories with us.you are helping us ...mental health is real
Bontate ba tswafisa🙄
Relebogile👏🏾
So much truth to mental health. How could one identifying be assisted ?
Thank you for this. i can relate. Great job team!!
Let’s unpack
My favourite line ❤️
I don't care about what is happening. No parent, grandparent, all who kids look up to should be seriously or jokingly calling a child ugly.
Thank you for this Relebogile. I would love to meet you one day
This episode is triggering 💔
It’s okay not to be okay.. but just know that one day you will be okay ❤️
My dad rejected me and called himself a "sperm donor" I'm talking about a man who was married to my mother... I don't think any man will ever brake me like my dad did...
I am with Thandi on hating an ex. At a point I literally with he just collapses and not see the following day
This episode was triggering. The lady in pink reminds me of my mother's experience. As a child, witnessing your parent in depression is worse than death itself.
😭
Thank you ladies for sharing your stories....❣❣
This show ❤. Really God sent!
Let's Unpack
Mental health is a serious problem black community ignore all the time. Platforms like this makes it easier for us to be open about the mental struggles we face daily
😢😢😢😢😢😢OH this was an eye opener 🙏thank you Relebogile. 💕💕💕💕
OMG how I relate to this episode 🥺🥺
Thank you Lebo. Mental health matters
I hope the government starts prioritizing mental health and its services; I believe c0v!d has shown us how important taking care of our minds actually is & that it's nothing to be taken lightly. May psychologists and therapists be paid more money; and more funding for students who want to go into this field.
Thank you to these two ladies for their bravery to share their stories; the journey must have been hard (and probably continues to be) but at least you have seen the light and came out stronger and more self-aware.
May we, as a society, be kinder to each other - *think before you speak; if it's not nice, you don't have to say it; not everything you think should be said*; sort of vibes. Be considerate to one another and mutual respect. Honestly.
Another watch 😊won't hurt me in anyway let me indulge and leave with information to understand others.
Watching this is triggering 😭😭 I was admitted 2 years ago. I’m currently in therapy again... depression and anxiety is real. I think there’s no way ta describe it coz everyone experiences it differently. I suffer from it, but every time I listen ta someone else’s experience, I’m always shocked 😮 and always triggered 😤
I have recovered from depression. This interview almost triggered bad memories
I just wanted to let you know that I'm a new subscriber and i am in love with your channel.
Thank you for joining us!
We welcome you 🥂👏🎂
K rata ths show thata le gone
Batho ba emetswi ntleng😭.
Can't wait to see tomorrow's episode😭
Let’s unpack☺️
Thanks sis Lebo for unpacking.I learned a lot from this show.We as society need to love and support each.May God pour healing to broken hearts.
It's ohk not to be ohk, it is very sad that 😢 that we go through this. I always thank God for my therapist she made my journey with dealing with depression so easy.
You are all dressed so elegantly and beautiful 😍
Being self-aware is very important for mental health. One should know their thresholds, their boundaries and limits.
Absent & foul parents 😭😭😭
first of all these guests look goodddtttt!!!! :)
My ex husband still say i should go back to (endimangeni) mental institution thats where i belong , that used to break my heart,i'm so glad i did ,i'm still dealing with dealing some of the causes ..Good mother to my boys (Depression is real)
Funny how I relate to this show 💔
Long live to this show🙌🏼🫂
Where does she say she wants her ex to be eaten by hyenas?i have seen that clip doing the rounds,would like to know the background of such hurt 😞
I haven't seen the clip but reading this made me laugh so much.🤣🤣🤣🙆🏾♀️🙆🏾♀️ Not that mental health issues are a joke to me😔
@@dineomalekane3859 i know what you mean🙃,but depression,hurt&stress can drive u into such trenches,they can break down every vestige of you…
@@andiedaddiekris True.
