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.

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!

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.

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. 🌻

In these kinda episodes, I become speechless, my tears do the talking 😭

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.

Childhood traumas will always come disrupt your life if not dealt with 😭

Really sad how adults bully children verbally and physically and scar them mentally. Sometimes for life. These adults fail these innocent children. Tragic.

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.

Tshepi was once on CENTWINZ - her story still stands out for me.

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

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

Am a big fan of Unpack from Tanzania.

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.

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. 🌻

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

Who else is here after seeing a clip from Tick tock?

Mmatshepo’s mom sounds so loving. I can only imagine how it must’ve been so hard for her too.

Listening to these, I want to cry. These stories resonate so deeply. Yoh 😭😭yoh yoh yoh guys☹️

Our generation must break the cycle. We must build open homes, where Mental health issues are discussed

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

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.

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 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.

Watching in a taxi on my way home ❤️❤️❤️I really, really, really, really, really love your show ❤️

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.

We are here unpacking 😍😍😍

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?

Unpacked No.1 fan is hereeeeeeee😍This show is medicine akere♡♡♡

Today's guests are so beautiful and their journeys will save so many lives. The interviewer is brilliant as usual 🙏

Relebogile you are such a good listener.

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

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 😭❤️❤️

Lesson from Thandi's story : Stay away from men!

Mental health is real, we need to be kind at people around us. Thank You for sharing your stories

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.

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

I honestly relate with the anxiety and panic attacks. Running away doesn’t help . Mental education is so important 🥺

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

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.

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....

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 🇬🇧

I am so inlove with this show.. learning everyday

I am addicted to this channel💕💞

Love the show! Lebo your guests honestly are an inspiration! You're doing an amazing job!

Thank you for allowing the ladies time to share their stories.

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.

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.

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.

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 this. i can relate. Great job team!!

Relebogile you are amazing and such a beautiful woman inside and out. Thanks for this amazing channel I've been binge watching u now 🇿🇦💖

Thank you beautiful ladies for sharing your life stories with us.you are helping us ...mental health is real

My cup of and biscuits ready,so now let's unpack. Bathong Rele outstanding 👏 😍 as per usual.

Relebogile👏🏾 So much truth to mental health. How could one identifying be assisted ?

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

Some parents/guardians are toxic. We need to have start having that conversation...yes/no?

Thank you for this Relebogile. I would love to meet you one day

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 👸.

This show ❤. Really God sent!

Thank you ladies for sharing your stories....❣❣

Let's unpack

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...

Thank you Lebo. Mental health matters

😢😢😢😢😢😢OH this was an eye opener 🙏thank you Relebogile. 💕💕💕💕

OMG how I relate to this episode 🥺🥺

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

Let’s unpack

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. 😭

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...

Can't wait to see tomorrow's episode😭

This episode is triggering 💔

Being self-aware is very important for mental health. One should know their thresholds, their boundaries and limits.

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.

I just wanted to let you know that I'm a new subscriber and i am in love with your channel.

Let's Unpack

Another watch 😊won't hurt me in anyway let me indulge and leave with information to understand others.

I am with Thandi on hating an ex. At a point I literally with he just collapses and not see the following day

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

You are all dressed so elegantly and beautiful 😍

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 😤

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.

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.

Long live to this show🙌🏼🫂

Bontate ba tswafisa🙄

Funny how I relate to this show 💔

first of all these guests look goodddtttt!!!! :)

Let’s unpack☺️

her channel. It teaches me so much as an aspiring psychologist and as a person who suffersfrom mental illnesses. Thand’s story is mine and everyday is a fight and a battle. I share it on my channel, the abuse, low self esteem, the likes

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🙄

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)

Mental health is a very serious situation 😟😟

All you women are beautiful. Different shades of brown so beautiful.

Omg!! This was so triggering for me.

K rata ths show thata le gone

Inside😍😍💃💃

Batho ba emetswi ntleng😭.

Healing is all I care about these days.
