Ouch. Big mood. I have ADHD, and I've been struggling with procrastination and forgetfulness during my college winter break, and my family doesn't really "get" what ADHD is, or they don't think I have it, so hearing Raph comfort Mikey and saying he wouldn't change anything about him is really nice, and reminds me of my friends in college who would say the same thing. Excellent dub as usual!

As someone who has ADHD, yeah, I feel this. I procrastinate a lot and I get scolded for it. I grew up hating it and always thought there was something wrong with me and that I was just made wrong, but over time and with the help of some friends, I learned to normalize it into my life and I know how to better help myself. This hit hard, so huge thanks to you!

I've only recently been introduced to this iteration on the turtles. I grew up a 90s kid so seeing Raph as such an emotionally available person and seeing Mikey so down, it's such a change and I have to say I dig it. A beautiful comic and after reading the comments it's easy to see how well the message resonates

I just want to hug Mikey , he needs hugs, all of them, Raphs a good bro

Mikey's speech tugged at my heartstrings but Raph's encouragement us what made me start bawling

growing up with adhd, it's hard sometimes to feel normal. I can definitely relate to Mikey when it comes to trying to be perfect all the time. It's exhausting and it drains you, mentally and physically. Just being yourself is all that matters; having people support you makes a difference.

It’s a beautiful story. My son has autism and as a preschool educator we do have children with ADHD, autism and other disabilities. My son and these kids are wired differently but they do have hearts and feelings that deserve to be heard and validated. They are such wonderful individuals once you accept their conditions. Thank you for a great dub.

I am not diagnosed with adhd. But this video brought me to tears. I never found nobody else who could describe how I feel especially about work. Mikey put it into words when I couldn't. This feeling has happened especially more. You voiced this beautifully. I might possibly have adhd due to a bunch of other things. But thank you so much for this conic dub! It means so much 🧡🧡🧡

This is sad,sweet,heartwarming,and sentimental I love this 11/10

I’m not diagnosed with ADHD, but this is worth talking about. I am very forgetful a lot, sometimes I slip up and it’s normal for everyone. But my parents make it seem like one mistake and I ruined everything. I get everyone makes mistakes, but I can’t feel normal while I’m with my parents. It hits really hard to hear Mikey saying the things I need to say about my slip ups and everything. He is my comfort character and I love the way this makes me feel like me and Mikey have something in common. It helps me cope with my painful parents a bit more. If someone is reading this and you have parents like mine, don’t worry. Your special the way you are, everyone makes mistakes it’s okay to slip up. Just go with the flow and you’ll be fine!

I started to tear up during this video, I love them and them acting like this with Raph comforting Mikey made this vid even better

As someone with ADHD.....this broke me. I wish I had someone like Raph in my life right now

Dang- Wish I had somebody like Raph 😭 As a person with ADHD, this was extremely heartwarming

Aww. Raph is the best big brother and Mikey needs a lot of hugs.

Sometimes, i dont really think that i dont have adhd But after watching this i literally realised i have adhd.

I was not expecting to cry from that. I feel that exact way and everyday has been difficult with it recently. It's nice to have that feeling put in words/Visual form because I struggle with explaining how I feel. I'm so glad that this comic exists and you dubbed it perfectly. Thank you Lya! ❤️

ADHD is not cute or fun- it's a serious thing that can make you feel completely disconnected from the world and from your ability to work. Seeing the more realistic side of it is important. ADHD is not good or bad- it just is. It's something people have to learn to live with, because our world isn't structured for them. I love my brother, who is ADHD/autistic, and I would never want him to not be who he is, even when he's having hard days or breakdowns. He's witty and smarter than most people I know, and he's hilarious because of the way his brain connects ideas. To all my neurodivergent peeps out there- it makes you you. It's okay to struggle with it, but never believe that those struggles make you weaker.

This is so sweet! I wish I could hug Mikey

I wish I had an older sibling like Raph to give me a talk like this about my Autism/autistic traits. You were awesome in this dub, epic job!! :DDD

I'm not diagnosed with ADHD or anything but everything Mikey said hit WAY to close to home. "I'm tired of not being able to do anything unless I relate it to a fixation of mine." That line just threw me. Because I 100% relate to it. I will procrastinate everything if it doesn't have anything to do with what I'm 'hyperfixated' on. Lets use art as an example. If I draw something from rottmnt, then I can sit there for HOURS and get up the next day to do it all over again. But If I tried to draw anything unrelated. I just find myself drawing a blank and I become disheartened. I was horrible in school because of this. I would be sitting in class thinking about a show I had watched and when I tried to focus on my work, I would just become so tired and before I knew it, I was falling asleep on the desk, despite being high energy not 5 minutes ago. I remember I was talking to my friend about school work. More specifically work ethic. I've always hated that I can't seem to do anything when it came to work I don't really care about. and My friend is a lowkey workaholic so when talking about the fact I don't really find myself doing homework until literally the last minute or how I barely passed Maths ( A class I found myself falling asleep in 90% of the time.) but how I was proud of myself for getting a B in science and their response was something on the lines of, "We need to stop talking about this. Hearing you talk about how little you care for your education is making me so angry-" It hurt. Because I DO care about my education. Just not all of it. I wish I could care more but I just don't. Sorry I went on a kind of rant. But you get my point. ;D

As someone with ADHD and was feeling this EXACT way today, this made me feel so much better. Thank you❤

I have no words. The comic is great it pulls my heartstrings making me want to comfort this sweet pea. Reading the comments is a plus because I can see a lot of people really need to hear this words or at the very least someone to hold (them) on. I might not have ADHD, but I'll do everything in my power to empathize and help with whatever I can.

I never knew that this was an ADHD thing, I have ADHD and I just thought the reason I felt that way was because I was lazy and worthless but it makes me feel comfort that people experience the same thing I do.

Cool and wonderful comic

Hit me hard as someone with ADHD,⟟ don’t have anyone that actually comforts me like this since ⟟ can’t talk to my parents about things because they’ll just say “yeah ⟟ have that too but ⟟ keep going” and it doesn’t help much at all- ⟟ mostly look forward to letting my friends comfort me,they feel more like family to me,this kinda reminded me of that

Ive been procrastinating on my school work for the past few months, and I hated myself for it. This comic somehow knew exactly what I was feeling and managed to put it into words. I really needed this, thank you for dubbing this.

this comic speaks to me damn im not diagnosed with ADHD but i do have autism so for me its makes it that unless the thing im wanting to work on is related to a fixation of mine i just.. cant get myself to start on it at all and i honestly wish people would understand that i sometimes just *cant* work on something because my brain just isn’t allowing me to, and not see me as “lazy” just cuz im not able to work on my stuff especially sucks when you have to make school related things with a clear deadline and you just cant get yourself to work on it no matter how hard you try

I have ADHD and I feel this way almost everyday. Raphael is so comforting though, and this made me extremely happy. Thank you for making this DUB. :)

I just want to give Mikey lots of hugs 🧡🐢

I was not ready to realize just how much I would relate to this, what’s worse is that I told myself the exact same thing. I’m going to think about this for a while.

I have ADHD so I understand what Mikey is saying

I have been struggling with ADHD for years and, frankly, it's very embarrassing. It's sort of worse when you've given all these typical responsibilities in an asian household, y'know? I can't focus anymore, or work, or think straight. I want to be fixed. I don't think I can really articulate right now either, but this comic is wonderful. I wish my family treated me this way haha

I have adhd as well, I relate to this so hard omfg, I’m glad Mikey has people who can support and help him :] it’s so sweet to see 🧡

Ok, Lya, sweetheart, why must you fill my heart with love and happiness and comfort and then smash it into a million pieces landing me in a pond of my own tears?? GOODNESS YOURE INCREDIBLE at voice acting! GOOD ON YA THIS WAS AMAZING

I got diagnosed with ADHD when I was 14, and that was a big relief for me. To know why I was so “lazy” and “hyper” and “dumb” was incredibly eye opening. Wether you can get a diagnosis or not, if you suspect you have adhd, I recommend seeing a professional or taking multiple *legit* quizzes or researching symptoms. It’s amazing to know your diagnoses, even if it “won’t change anything”.

I haven't been diagnosed, other medical issues have gotten in the way of me getting a definitive answer. But I have a strong feeling I have it. I can't...do much unless it has to do with my fixations, and when I have a fixation, it's almost all I think about for months on end. This has led to me feeling burnt out on many things, or stuck doing the same two things for months which isn't...fun. Procrastination has been a horrible thing in my life and it's so hard to focus on anything. it's...gotten worse as I've grown, and I'm at the point where I sometimes click on videos and then click off a second later, my attention already gone or dried up. I want to be productive, I just...have such a hard time doing so. And it's hard when my parents don't really believe me. I've said I want to be "normal" before...the truth is I just want to be able to FUNCTION at any compacity without burning out on impact. I'm hoping that when I get this bigger medical emergency cleared up in the next few months I'll be able to get answers and maybe get some help so I can actually focus...

God ADHD is so hard. Some days it just feels like you don’t work. This comic gets it pretty on point

I love how this comic is talking about this part of adhd desperately knowing you have something to do but not being able to do it (I also connect everything I do with my fixations) I love Mikey and he was always my favorite character because I related to him

I am not diagnosed with ADHD, but I relate to it in some ways. I felt like Mikey felt for a long time, fortunately it's getting better now but this is almost exactly how I felt, seeing Mikey feel that way too hurt me but Raph's words?? That's what I've wanted to hear for a long, long time and I didn't know it! I will certainly try to remember this when I am not at my best.

It really does feel like this at times. Weekends are hard. Breaks are a nightmare. I want, I NEED to do stuff, but I can't, and I get wrapped up in a tornado of procrastination and self-damaging thoughts, so I get nothing done, sucking me farther into the tornado Edit: NVM I'M ON A READING AND CLEANING HIGH SCREW SELF CARE OR ANY OTHER TASK

Crying on Christmas Your dubs are so brilliant! Love it!

your dubs make me cryyyy 😭💞 i love them so much it hurts 🧡❤

I have bad ADHD and this comic is a accurate representation. ADHD isn't just uncontrollable energy and this comic shows that perfectly.

I am not diagnosed with adhd, but this comic really spoke to me in a way that I cannot express.. I don't have a Raph in my life and everyone, for all my life, told the exact opposite to me and it's just tiring.. I try to explain this to everyone that claim they want to help me and the next phrase is always "you're just in a phase, you will grow up eventually, you'll change". Guess what, now I'm way older than mikey and I think the exact same things as him when I was at his age. I just hope that someday I will find a Raph, but for now I will watch this fantastic comic with fantastic dub to help me during my weird days. Thank you ❤️

ADHD stands for always doing happy dances

I'm literally getting chills from this (TwT) /positive And add me to the tally for people here with ADHD :P

As someone who has ADHD, the way Mikey's ADHD is shown in this comic is absolutely how my ADHD acts, I know it's different for different people, but I knew this was good as soon as it started, the whole "I just want to be normal" hit me different, I can't count the amount of times I've thought that or said it, there are times where I just wanted to feel what it's like to not have ADHD, words cannot describe how this made me feel if I'm being honest, the original artist of this comic is absolutely incredible at showing ADHD and what it's like

This is quite relatable, I’ve come to realize I have a few of these traits as well and it’s hard to do things that im not fixated on. We all just need our break days ig

this video made me cry. there is no way that the person that made this comic doesn't have adhd

Ouch I'm crying and I'm not sure if it's because this is wholesome or because I relate to Mikey, on another note, great voice acting!!

Awhh I remember reading this one, I never realised how much I kin Mikey, it's hard being me, not really being able to feel like doing something even though I want to, and I want to help people, but I keep procrastinating, and like what's up with me? Ya know? I don't have ADHD, but I'm sure I have it, I feel somewhat comfortable around comics of the turtles, relating to them, it makes me so much better and welcome, like omg.

Haven’t been diagnosed, but I am getting tested for adhd and autism soon. This is the exact feeling I have day after day. There’s so much negativity around it since our society believes that the only way to be successful is to be productive. It’s awful. You beat yourself up because you can’t do tasks as easily as others, even things like showering and getting out of bed are hard. Work just seems impossible on those days. Then, there’s everything else on top of it: being too much for some people, sensory issues, and forgetting literally everything. It sucks. I wish I had an older sibling to tell me it is okay to be this way, but alas I am the oldest. Maybe someday we won’t be valued based on our productivity, but merely because we are here and we exist.

As a person with ADHD, this is so true for me, I often can't bring myself to do anything but sit and be on my computer.

When you have five brothers and none of them can comfort you in the way Raphael can.

Me and my family have been aware of my ADHD but they keep denying it and telling me to "just focus, its not hard" or "just stay still like your *sister* " and it sucks. I cant sleep easy without noise and I never stop thinking. So I can understand that feeling. You just feel, different.

Why does Mickey’s situation sounds so relatable to me? I mean, I have been starting to think I have ADHD or smth and I want to see someone about it, but after telling my friends about it, they seems to think I’m overreacting and was saying it in the nicest way possible. If my friends would react like this, I don’t think my family would be any better…

I have this on loop because the calm voice is calming the content completely relatable. I'm in tears but I like listening to it.

Poor fellow. I know all too well what that feels like. I didn't even know I had adhd till I became an adult and got myself diagnosed, but it was such a relief to realize that not everything was the result of me being lazy or stupid or just a bad person. And what's more, once I knew the real root of the problem, I could start coming up with solutions and workarounds that would actually work for me. Sure they don't work all the time, or even most of the time. But they do work some of the time, and that's more than I had before, so i'm willing to take what I can get and move forward from there. Cheer up, rad Turtle dude. You're not alone. "anata wa hitori ja nai"

I'm not crying, they're just invisible ninjas cutting onions in my room ༼⁠;⁠´⁠༎ຶ⁠ ⁠۝ ⁠༎ຶ⁠༽

THE PERFECT LITTLE BROTHER

My child I will give you all hugs 😭

Oh my god Mikey’s speech hits so hard for me. I felt like I was the only one who felt like this, MY GOD. I just can’t I don’t have the words, man

I have adhd myself so i know what it feels like some days i just dont want to do anything and im tired and i get sad or mad alot or even both its not easy.and this is actualy cannon that mikey has adhd and its so awsome to see my favorite character have what i have.

THIS HURT- 😭 this is literally my definition in the dictionary

I’ve been diagnosed with adhd since I was around 3, and thus hit me right in the feels. I completely understand this feeling and suffer with it on a daily basis. Even now I’m supposed to be working on a project for school (some dumb video project I need to do, and it’s already late as it is. Though part of it is also my social anxiety because I hate filming myself) but instead I’m watching this lmao.

this is still to relatable, even after months.

Oof! Right in the feels. Thank you for posting this. I had one of those days today and this made me feel 1000% better

Bro my heart melted when I saw tears forming 😭

O.M.G, this is Exactly how i feel!! I have adhd as well and sometimes i want to do something but I just can't get myself to do it right away, sometimes i cry wondering what's wrong with me, but this makes me see i'm not alone, thank you so much

Oh my gosh. I'm so glad this video popped up in my recommended, it's amazing. First of all, the voice acting is so good?? You show Mikey's distress (even if he doesn't want it to be shown) so well, and Raph's soft voice comforting Mikey really adds to this comic. I'm not diagnosed, but I strongly suspect I have ADHD (I don't know where I can get properly diagnosed). This comic really spoke heavily to me, and I wish I could have this conversation with someone irl. I absolutely love this, what an amazing dub!!

-looks at watch- oh it’s time for my yearly Christmas cry. -sees this video- perfect! -clicks, watches, cries emotional tears-

I ACTUALLY CRIED DURING THIS! You know why? Because I am this way too.

AGAJSJAKKAJSK I LIVE THISS MIKEY MY BOY 😭😭 your mikey voice is everything to me thx 😋😋

Holy shit do I relate to this, As someone who has been diagnosed with ADHD (since around 4 or 5 I think) sometimes I go haywire and clean like crazy, while other days I can barely get out of bed let alone do anything productive. Its so easy for me to get frustrated with myself because I procrastinate so much. Hell, it’s why I often didn’t do well in school (other than math I genuinely don’t understand that shit) I’m also incredibly forgetful, it’s genuinely be getting worse as of recent, I’ll constantly walk into a room thinking about what I need to do/get, think of something funny or random, and then just forget why I walked into the room.

I technically have autism and ADD but it’s still difficult. I feel this way and tend to waste HOURS of my time doing random in the moment stuff rather than my important work and school studies (even if the studies are things are enjoy). Even so, I’m gonna break procrastination no matter how hard it is.

I never knew I could relate to fictional turtles this much

This hits too close to home, like seriously I feel like Mikey is me right now 😭

I need someone like Raph in my life...

I was recently told I have adhd and it's a big weight lifted off of my shoulders to know that my struggle with procrastinating stems from adhd. I'm still struggling with how to work with it, but it's nice to know, at least.

Hearing encouragement about ADHD feels alien to me. I can't remember many times where someone actually comforted me and respected my ADHD. Not to mention the very few times I feel represented in a show. (I'm a woman with ADHD, I am both hyperactive and inattentive) Mikey has his brothers to rely on and care about him. So at first, it made it hard for me to see his ADHD. Part of the reason I struggle so much with it is because of the little to no support I get. Which makes me wish there was more stuff like this. Someone to say that it's okay to have a lot of energy, to be intense, to struggle with prioritizing, and forgeting things. ADHD isn't just "can't sit still, can't focus". It's so much more. Thank you for voicing this comic and uploading it. Whenever I feel... like everything is hard, I just watch this. It's a huge comfort for me.

Everyone in the comments is happy and vibing with this since they have ADHD themselves, and I can gladly say, I vibe as well. Totally not just cause I *also* have ADHD.

I've struggled with ADHD since I was little and was never really taught how to cope with it and the strange thing is I never knew I had it till high school when I had to be put back on meds for it I was failing all my classes cause they weren't my hyperfixation I was to scared to tell anyone about how I felt so hearing raph comfort Mikey the way I've always wanted to be makes me happy keep up the good work

Ahh, executive dysfunction, my old nemesis and friend. In my experience navigating it became easier after your seratonin levels normalize since lots of people with ADHD/ASD have less seratonin than we should. If you struggle with this a lot, medication might help.

This whole thing is just perfect. I honestly feel like I relate to mikey a lot. I'm often like this but I don't think others will understand that so I just keep it to myself all of the time. This was an amazing comic and I really felt like I could relate to all of this and get a good understanding to this. Great job!!

as someone with ADHD this relatable af

I didn’t think I had ADHD but I think I do this is my life this video describes my life

Omg I almost cried it is so nice to relate to character I like thanks alot

This hit way closer to home than I was expecting or prepared for dang. Like I’ve had this exact conversation with someone before about my adhd, pretty uncanny

Aww I’m not crying my eyes are just sweating

Bro i have ADHD and i struggle with it a lot, but see my biggest kinnie having the same thing and struggling too really tears me down...

Tbh as someone who has ADHD I don’t really feel this way, but I do understand how people can feel this way, I’m not trying to sound like I’m better than anyone just cause I have it, that’s not what I’m saying nor trying to be negative at any way, this does make me sad and I am wishing the best for people who are struggling in your life, things will get better, I promise

*sobs* he just like me frrr Feeling useless every day absolutely sucks, most people irl just don’t really get it though

I have both autism and adhd, so i know these completely.

Bruh i have adhd and i cried hearing this because no one has told me anything like that before. Their all "Take meds to make it better" or "Learn to control it" or " your being dramatic" Or when i try to explain that i cant do certain tasks because of my adhd they say "Thats an excuse" And i have to do said task anyway, and i get in trouble for not doing it properly or taking too long to complete it.

I have undiagnosed ADHD but this is exactly what I felt like all of my school years. Especially now that I'm at a trade school taking a class that could help me get a better job 😭

Amazing voice acting plus me and my sister had a moment like this once

I have ADD i know it isn’t the same but I feel this. I can’t deal with people saying it’s “easy” because you get extra help

Me: “damn that shit hurts” *looks over at psych hw*: “mhhh maybe later”

I had to stop cuz I was tearing up- your voice acting is amazing, keep up the beautiful work!^^

ADHD here, yea how I feel all the time. I procrastinate pretty bad on things like essays and cleaning and usually I’m ok and can do it and reward myself after but lately yea bad. So this video rlly hit the big feels
