The Anxiety Princess - This page is aimed at addressing mental illness with focus on anxiety, the blessing and curse I have been living with for almost 2 years. My aim is to create awareness around mental illness and provide support to people who do not know how to approach and get a handle on their mental illness. Mental illness is not a death sentence and when managed and understood, you start walking a journey to wellness. Its not the easiest ride but it has come with some valuable lessons. This channel will provide you will all the knowledge you will need. The page was initially started on Facebook however I aim to reach the world through all the channels I couldn't possibly navigate on. I post blogs as well on a daily which you can check out on my Facebook page that provides some coping mechanisms you can try out in this fight for mental wellness.
Emotional baggage Part 2| Mental health |Living with anxiety| Healing
In 2020 I touched on some of the emotional baggage I was carrying. With the help of a therapist, I was able to unpack these and understand how I got there.
A few weeks ago I discussed this topic again on Panda, but in more detail. So I thought, why not bring it back to this channel.
In this video I recap on some of the baggage I was carrying (please watch video 5 for more details), I also touch on why emotional baggage is bad, how do you identify that you are carrying baggage and how to deal with them.
Emotional baggage holds us accountable and requires us to enforce boundaries. But left unattended, they can result in a constant state of emotional turbulence and delay healing.

Should you disclose to your employer that you suffer from mental illness?
zhlédnutí 123Před 2 lety
There is no legal requirement in South Africa to disclose your mental well-being to your employer, therefore at no point should you feel you need to. It took me a few months to disclose my anxiety to my employer. I was at a breaking point and I guess it was a cry for help. There are various reasons why people do not disclose their mental well-being, including stigma, judgment and being misunder...

Happy Sunday mental health nation 🎉 The more we try to talk about mental illness, the more rejection we get from society, our families, friends and colleagues all because of stigma. Stigma is the disgrace and disapproval that is associated with something. Lack of understanding and ignorance are the greatest contributors to the stigma towards mental illness.

I think we can all agree that 2021 has been a rollercoaster year. From thinking we will be returning to normal, to lockdown again. We sort of needed to find a way to accept the new normal. To navigate that and still take care of our well-being was hard. So to end things off this year, let’s pat ourselves on the back and be proud of the champions we are. We lost some soldiers along the way howev...

Mental health is not a competition | Mental health matters | healing

Hello mental health Nation We often so impatient and always comparing our healing to other people. When we do all this, we then get frustrated because we might not be progressing as much. This is expected because there are different circumstances that lead to mental health issues and we often have different resources at our disposal to deal with those issue, so how can we expect similar healing...

Emotions are a reaction to a certain event. They impact the state of our mind as well as our well-being. There are helpful emotions - those that contribute greatly to our happiness, growth and wellness.

How do we balance our parent’s views on mental health illnesses and science

Happy Sunday mental health nation 🎉 This is a very open ended video as I do not have the answers. How do we balance our parents views on mental health and science. Our parents do not believe mental health illnesses exist and part of that view is due to the lack of information. Parents send the kids to school to study psychology which is the study of the mind. However when it comes to their kids...

Navigating the work environment while suffering from mental illness
Thanks for sharing mntase really needed to hear this😊♥️.
Why am I only seeing this now😢 Thank u sis ❤❤
I came straight from ur insta story coz I felt I needed to say something but now I can't even put it into words.ive had to actively ask my doctor to put me back on my anti anxiety medication just last week because I felt myself slowly going into that dark hole.my problem is the invalidating ur feelings and not understanding why u don't want to delve deeper into it because of the repercussions,honestly I was put into a situation when I was young which would change my life forever n honestly it was not their fault but how do u explain that to ur parent without them blaming themselves.its tough,im being called mean or moody everyday while i feel like the walls are closing in on me.Yooo mntase this is so triggering n honesty wouldn't wish mental disorders on my worst enemy
Yhoo they will say une drama eish💔
@@sisandamasika2061 Exactly
Take all the time you need mntase❤️❤️❤️. Can't wait for the new segment.
Thank you for this 🙏🏾
I'm new here and sisi I love it❣❣👌🏻
New subscriber ✨👌🙌
Welcome ❤️
Thank You so Much for this Sis’Tee🥺💓💓
Someone from my past ticked all 10 😲😝
Thank you for this Thumeka. Beta blockers almost killed me (maybe I was imagining it) but it kept me awake since it made my heart rate go crazy, made me feel like I’m about to vomit out my soul 😂... which made my anxiety worse. 😞 I don’t want to see those pills in my life. Hhhaibo! It shows how most doctors overlook mental health compared to physical health.
I definitely think you were no imagining it. Same thing happened to me. My blood pressure dropped so significantly I was on the verge of passing out. As far as I know they are used to treat heart conditions. One of the symptoms for anxiety attacks it’s the heart palpitations- so I think naturally they want to treat that but honestly it’s a miss. I’m not a doctor but the experience was horrible. I have been lucky that 2 of my doctors actually studies mental illness as well.
Can't believe it took me this long to bump into your page❤️
Congrats lover!!! You deserve it❤️
Yho what an informative channel❤️❤️❤️thank you for sharing
Thank you so much for watching ❤️
Catching this channel from IG, loove how you address topics
I love the topics that you have covered. Boundaries are really important to keep us from being anxious at work and our personal lives. I have put a stop on number of things already this year.
❤️you beautiful , before I watch I have to comment on your looks kalok mntase
These are such valuable insights. Progress does not have to be perfect!!!!!!
Argh🤗🤗🤗🤗 I am an amazing person and deserve to be loved, with or without suffering with mental health ♥️♥️ Thank you for this🤗

Mama 😘 😘 😘 you're such an amazing woman. 💯 Inspiration. Thank you for this page
Thank you so much ❤️
self love is the best!! Thank you so much for this episode:-)
Enjoyed it! & congrats on your new job Thumi. Best wishes!
I loved how you demonstrated the evolution of self management. From having an idea, to getting more ideas and then narrowing it down again. I loved the final segment with advice of how to be better. Mine is the one about stopping letting everybody in. I needed that message because I tend to be mother mary and then get overwhelmed. Thank you for this channel. I am learning a lot.
I love your channel queen!!
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for this ... getting out of my head 😣😣
Hi Thumeka, where do you go if you need help?
Hey how are you doing? Can you be specific in terms of what you mean by help? Do you mean therapy? Because you will need to rule out anything physically wrong with - so doctor first to run all the test then therapy if your diagnosis is anxiety.
I love your vision. I've always been concerned about psychological issues that are ignored in our socities
Yho it's like you're explaining me on a daily. I never thought that someone could understand.
Really? I’m so glad you relate ❤️
Awusemhle😍 Argh❤️ Your voice is so soothing and your assurance that this is normal is so amazing, enkosi ❤️
Thank you so much this was very very raw and informative ❤️
Started following you a few days ago on IG because of make up and sneakers but I just saw on your stories that you also cover such segments and my heart jumped! I'm willing to binge watch mntakabawo. I'm low-key scared that I don't get triggered and struggle to sleep or something but I'm willing to walk this journey. I swear I'm telling my friends to subscribe because yah no!❤️
You know, it really burns me up how the local news only mentions mentally ill people when they do something bad, they never mention when we achieve good deeds and goals. It’s just not fair or right.
We never get the appraisals...just the worst being reported. So tired of it
@@thumekamoletsanehenkeman8790 , I’m so tired of it too. I hope I can help change it someday. Thanks for writing back.
Great topic. We don’t talk as much as we should about how the work space impacts mental health.
Hey. I enjoyed the vid. I've been trying to find for a CZcams vid similar to yours that informs everything in this CZcams vid! 👩⚕️ 🙌Your lesson actually reminds me of the videos from Doctor Ethan. Dr Ethan's videos are actually informative and he helped me a lot on my exams. He is an educational med student in the UK. I suggest you watch his YT out and give the med student a subscribe here! ➡️ #LearnFromDrEthan
Thanks Rose and I’m glad you enjoyed this. I will definitely check Dr Ethan’s videos as well
09:00 minutes, you had a burn out. It’s so common in Europe.
Lovely to hear this from an African. You’re really going to help a lot of people. 🙏🏾🙏🏾 I didn’t understand anxiety or depression until I came here. Almost everyone i know is on anti depressants and it’s mostly all work related or caused by a traumatic experience.

Hesana I can’t. I honestly can’t spend 10 hours editing a video. The important thing is the message to I am sending across. I can imagine how much time content creators take to master this thing. No shame andizi Thank you so much for watching babe ❤️ appreciate your support
It’s a full time job. Hence more content creators are doing it full time. Others hire editors. Find what works. Looking forward to catching the rest ❤️
