It's absolutely crazy to think that anyone would give this man flack for taking a break for mental and physical health reasons. And raffy only wishes them the best of luck, "dont call it a comeback" no it's the return of the king. Welcome back Raffy! So happy to see you doing so well!!
@@grumpycat1178 at 1:50 he literally talks about how he got angry messages from people because of his absence. All for him just taking a mental health break.
I’m getting a lot of messages on what I’m doing for fitness/diet: keep in mind everyone’s body is different Tracking calories, trying to eat whole foods only (chicken, beef, steak, home cooked rice, pasta etc). Aiming for 160-200 grams of protein. Not really restricting much other than avoiding snacks/sweets/junk food. I typically eat anywhere from 3000-4000 calories. Then gym one or two times a day everyday, recently started weight training for an hour (light weight, high reps) 3 days a week to strengthen and supplement boxing training.
@@dominer1235 thank you! I’ve convinced myself I’m fighting in a boxing event by the end of next year so it’s actually been a pretty easy decision to stay committed when in the back of my mind I’m thinking about my future opponent training hard and eating right. Maybe a good mind trick for some is to imagine some sort of competition (even if you don’t end up competing it’s served it’s purpose)
You are absolutely glowing sir. Coming from someone who used to deal with a lot of mental health issues I know how hard it can be to come to terms with it and get better so I am so very glad to see you looking wonderful and happy and this healthy energy you have is contagious so thank you.
Raffy, anyone who knows how difficult mental health problems can be knows that a break is very much needed in such times. The people sending angry messages are just reflecting what they think about themselves. Keep going champ!
Absolutely! Well said. And there’s nothing to be ashamed of when it comes to mental health. I am glad more people are talking about it. We’re all in support of your healing journey, Raffy!
So that means he burned off roughly …5 lbs per day. What a beast this man is: a guy truly hits Is the past upto THIS AWHILE so far this dude lost smh 🤦🏾♂️ 🔥 🔥🔥 *Homies killin the progress fashow*
@@shivpatel5413 5lbs a day?! 😭 bro that would be impossible man haha a little off with the math there broski, 6 months = roughly 180 days (if the average is 30 days) 80pounds ~ 180days = 0.4444 pounds a day. Rounding that up is half a pound a day. Exceptional progress, steady, plus the fact he had been boxing and putting on muscle weight, so his fat loss was actually much faster than that. Overall, you’re not wrong about him being a beast man. Very proud of our man. An Inspiration.
Dude I am so glad that you took a break, not necessarily because I thought you needed it but because it seems like you were able to truly find your way and improve yourself as much as possible. You seem very healthy and in impenetrably high spirits. Love your vids and I'm excited for the new videos now that you're feeling refreshed and ready to come back, much love.
I have been strugling with mental issues myself for the past few years and I only has been able to seek the help I need in the past month and it help me much. So it make me happy to see that you have found something thats work for you and I found you very strong to talk about it like that. You deserve everything you have. Thanks for everything you're a real men Raffy!
its good to hear and see you again Raffy, hope your mental health is taking it easy on you man. i hope you dont feel stressed on not uploading all this time, i speak for many people that are supporters of you and if anything we are glad you are taking time off to take care of personal things. you try your best and we are proud of ya mate. 😊💛 thank you for your effort.
Man it sucks to hear you dont think you deserve what you have.. You deserve every bit of it. Dont put yourself down dude you help many people in many ways so give yourself credit and thank you :)
So glad to hear you're doing better mentally (and physically) :) I don't even know how bitter people have to be to send angry messages when someone takes a needed brake for their mental health (or even just because they want to). No one is entitled to your time or energy - so thank you for taking your time to make such amazing content!
Raffy, I see myself in you, your face, your facial expressions... I'm suffering some mental difficulties, and I think that's Ok too, I see that you are suffering, and not being good, it's ok too, sometimes you need to stop, and take care of yourself... I hope you are better each day, we can fight against this❤️ Lot of love, I always wait for your videos, the time you need
We might just look like letters on a screen, but behind them are a lot of people who care Raffy! Whether you upload or not! Feel free to take your own time to do anything at all especially regarding this channel. I think I can speak for everyone with a brain when saying we love to see you back, and we'll keep loving to see you back whether that's tomorrow, next week, next year or even later! Hang tight buddy! It sounds like you're making loads of progress! :)
Hey Raffy, I have been following the channel for a while now. I don’t always watch ASMR to go to sleep, but when I do I always come back to your channel. I hope you read this, and even though we don’t know each other, it’s great to see how far you’ve come with your channel, and also with your life as you’ve chosen to share. I’m sure I speak for all of your supporters when I say we’re all proud. I love the content, and I’m glad you take the time you need.
All the personal, mental and physical improvements you went through in these months are clear as light. Your eyes show it. Your entire expression and body language shows it. Congratulations for being able to overcome it all Raffy! Thanks for the video and have a great day!
I was a combat medic & am now a permanent 100% disabled veteran. I’ve gone through so many ups & downs and I thank you for being real and talking about depression. God bless u Raffy- thank u for the videos that help me fall asleep & thank u for keeping it real!🥰🥰🥰
Paused about a minute and a half into the video. Man. We all absolutely adore you dude! We just want to see you doing well. You’re such a deserving person, and I, much like the numerous other supporters in the comments, am so proud of you for taking the time to care of yourself. You’ve helped us all in so many different ways. You have done so much good to this world! You can always take the time you need for yourself, and we’re always going to back you. So proud of you dude. Keep killing it.
It takes special kind of strength to be able to recognise our emotions and inner signs that we are not well and work on them. You're a fighter Raffy, and I wish you peace and happiness, at least in the same amount you're giving us with your uploads.
Just grateful that you’re here brother, keep taking that time for yourself. The real one’s know what’s up ✊🏾 Definitely want to see you give out them GOOD HANDS in the ring!
it's incredible to have you back, and really sad to hear that your time away was marred by harassment from "fans." we love your content, but only when its clear you love making it. take breaks when you need them, and we'll be here when you ready.
Raffy! You look absolutely stunning man, I’m so happy to see the progress you’ve made with weight loss. You are one of the first ASMRists I have ever watched and even if it is only a one video every few months I always get excited seeing your name pop on on my recent videos page. Stay healthy Raff!
Raffy you'll always hold a special place in my world. From around 3 or 4 years ago, I found a video of yours with a white pillow and a bunch of other objects. I clicked on the vid and I loved it. Sleep for me then had been a struggle, but you allowed me that peace and helped me. You introduced me to a whole different side of youtube that i didn't know about, that i now love, so thank you. I hope you are well and whatever is happening with you improves, because you are just amazing and deserve the world.
I’ve been watching you since I was 15 and I’m now 21. It’s awesome to see your growth along with my own. I can’t tell you how many times your videos brought me peace when I was struggling. I know im not alone when I was you’ve been an amazing, positive figure and I wish you all the best !!
man, you absolutely deserves all the subscribers, you seriously made my life better and helped me get going in my darkest times, thank you so much, I hope you hit the 1 million mark soon
You might not get the chance to see this message, but this is my first time ever watching you. I truly think your an amazing person and of course everyone has there own issues they deal with, I just want to thank you for providing such great content you deserve all the support, stay strong 💪🏽
I was literally laying here wondering what I’d put on to help me sleep. You’re the man! You look great. So happy you’re back, but I’m so glad you took the time you needed for your mental health. I hope you’re feeling better. ❤
0:40 It’s been as long as it needed to be; your physical changes have been so stark from even your last couple of videos and it’s crazy uplifting - taking time for yourself is as valuable a lesson to give as the videos you produce. You’re awesome mans
I doubt you’ll see this man, but I’m so proud of you. I’m so glad that your happy and finding your place in the gym and ring. So proud of you brother, stay awesome, keep on the grind!! 👑👑👑👑
Hey man, it’s so good to have you back. Whenever you come around, many of us are happy and ready to welcome you. If you need to step away, I like to think many more of us than not understand. Your health comes first and foremost. Thanks for all you do for us and the community.
I've been watching asmr for about 5 years now. As I scroll through the comments I'm still amazed at this community. Nowhere else on UA-cam will you find such positivity and warmth in a comment section. Good luck Raffy! Way to go man! Looking 👍 🥰💗💤
Except on the annoying bots posting the same message under every video. I'm more amazed by the comment section in this particular channel, as I've never seen hate comments. Anyways, for the ones who red it all, have a good day
As a man who understands the daily battle of depression and still have days that depression wins, I would not mind another video about your journey recently. What helped your journey and what hurt your journey? Hope you have great days coming Raff!
I feel you bro. It's good to vent here, but remember, when you're feeling like 10%, it's time to get: +10% from a good therapist +10% from hitting the gym/run 4 days a week, even if it's just 30-40 mins per day +10% from a good sleep schedule +10% from drinking and eating healthy +10% from meditation, mindfulness or whatever method you prefer In a couple months, it will get you to 60%. And sustaining that 60% for a couple more will bring you out of this state, at least for a few years. Just don't sink into it. Big hugs from a fellow person with struggles of his own!
Proud of you dawg it takes a lot to work on yourself and come back and tell people about your struggles. All your followers are here for you and in full support, always gonna support the best asmrtist that there is
SO HAPPY YOU ARE BACK! It's okay to not be OKAY Raffy! You have to work on you before anyone else. Give yourself some grace. Your real fans will always be here. I hope you see this comment. Take care friend! 🙂
I wonder when people will realize that youtubers owe you literally nothing lol. You can take a 3 year break if that's what you need Raphy. Heck. If you need, you could never make another video. I'm glad you chose to make at least one more for us. The point being, no UA-camr deserves angry messages for lack of posting videos. You have to do what's best for you. Always.
Raffy, wow...espero que leas esto. Te conocí hace ya varios años, cuando el "ASMR" no estaba de 'moda' (como sucede en la actualidad); para mi, eres el pionero, verte/escucharte me ha tranquilizado un sin número de noches en mi vida. Sea lo que sea que estés atravesando ahora, por favor considera todo lo que has logrado en las personas, has traído calma/paz a sus vidas, eres un ser realmente importante. Te mando un fuerte abrazo desde Ecuador y GRACIAS, GRACIAS TOTALES por tu dedicación y por brindar calma/paz y tranquilidad, a través de tus videos y tu tiempo.
My homie, yours was one of the channels I found during my dark days. In my weakest moments, your positive vibes helped me on the nights I did not want to be alone with my thoughts. I wish you the very best on your own journey.
As someone who as experienced mental health issues since the age of 8, I can say that taking those steps to recover from the low points in your life can really change you. I am so glad you are feeling better and it’s amazing to know you’re working towards that. Have an amazing summer and get yourself out there again!
You constantly inspire me. I am always rewatching your old uploads, my friend. Your videos bring me so much peace and comfort and just knowing you’re alive and well is far happier a thing to celebrate than another upload. None of us mind the breaks if it means you’re doing well! We love you Raffy!
Thank you for everything, Raffy. You helped me get through quite a bit of hardship. I can't say I've been here since the beginning, but I have enjoyed every second of this journey. Stay strong my friend.
You were one of the first people I started listening to when I started watching ASMR. I think the first one I saw was the cranial nerve exam roleplay… to this day, this channel has been my saving grace when I can’t sleep, and want to listen to some good sounds “only” lol, so thank you Raffy for years of great content and effort! My sleep schedule thanks you!
I love you man! You’ve touched so many lives on this channel and to see you working in your mental, physical, and overall health makes me so happy! You give me inspiration for my UA-cam channel and I think of all the great influencers I watch every time I hit record! Do whatever you need for you and we will always be here for a new video wether it’s a month or a year I’ll always be happy to see you!
My gosh looking amazing Raffy, I'm soo proud of u I see a lot of improvement keep it up my brother. I could tell u looked forward to coming back to this. And just know a lot of us will stay here and wait for u. What some people don't understand is that it's good to work on yourself when u are engaged with the UA-cam community.
Hello there! Raffy you helped me with my mental health after I lost my job and social life because of Post-Covid. And for all the years I have been following, you just always make me happy and relaxed. It is so good to hear that you are doing well and I am so proud of you!
So glad to hear that you’re doing better! We missed you, but your health (mental, physical, AND emotional) is a million times more important than new content. I, like many others, was perfectly happy rewatching some of my fav videos of yours for the past couple of months. 😀😀😀
Welcome back Raffy ❤️ you were never gone. And I’m glad that you’re coming up stronger than ever before. You look fantastic and it makes me happy to see you shine so bright ✨
I was literally looking through your channel LAST NIGHT and thought about how much I missed your videos. I can’t describe how happy I am to see that you posted. Much love and so happy you are doing better
love this guy fo real. has been in every stage of my teen years into adulthood. glad when he comes back, but appreciates when he takes time for himself.
You've always got such a calm, kind, supportive and fun spirit in your videos. You really could've fooled me that you've been in a difficult place for so long. But your well being is important so even though you've been away it's good to know that you've been spending this time improving yourself and bettering your physical and mental health. It's visible in more ways than one. I'm glad that you've been sticking with it this far. Dedication and discipline, never lose sight and never give up! Keep up the good work my man.
As someone who's been to the brink and back, and who has to generally sort of be guarded about my experience due to employment circumstances, but will open up in one on one situations with trusted folks, I commend you for using your platform to talk about your experience. It was not as socially acceptable at the time I got better to talk about such things, and it's still stigmatized by some, but the more we can have open dialogue and normalize prioritization of mental health and that mental health struggles are part of the human experience for many people, the less stigmatized it will be. On a person-to-person level, I'm genuinely ecstatic that you're getting better. I've seen ASMRtists whom I know suffer from MH issues disappear before, including possibly my all time favorite (who professed to be heavily influenced by you), but unless they come back and tell their story, we can all only hope for the best for them. I will listen to you all day today at work to celebrate your road to recovery. Keep doing the hard work. It pays off in dividends once you come through it. Much
Hey man, there’s never anything wrong with a mental break! You’re a beautiful human being and you mean so much to all of us, you’re amazing and deserve all the good things this world has to offer. I really hope you’re good and that whatever obstacles life throws at you, you overcome and become even stronger than what you already are ❤️
Don't be sorry for rambling Raffy! We love just hearing you talk about whatever comes to mind :) However long between videos doesn't matter, just to know you're still enjoying life through all the downs and ups. It's always good to hear from you
perfect timing you never owe us anything raffy but happy to have you back you look amazing always enjoy hearing & seeing new updates from you your content is truly unmatchable + will always have many of us here to stay!!
Dear Raphy,thank you for sharing your story,I work on a ward for depression as a nurse.what you did there was a lot of hard work and you can be proud of yourself! I admire you as an ASMR artist, now also as a survival artist and as a human being. ASMR can be an important part of recovery, thank you for contributing so much, thank you for helping me slow down my day. Best regards Nady🌺🌷💐
I've never, ever commented a youtube video, but today, I need to : Thank you. Thank you for making me sleep every night, thank you for bringing me peace when I needed it, thank you for making me practicing my english (I'm a french fan lol). You absolutely deserve every pieces of your success, you're the best man, I've been following you since several years, and you bring me so much. Welcome back !
Watching great ASMR from your favourite ASMRtist while they talk very relatably about their mental health makes for the most soothing and reassuring 72 minutes. Thanks Raffy.
No matter how many times you take breaks, I'll always be here to support you along with many others. I'm so glad to hear you're doing well. Keep up the great work Raffy!
First thing: tingles were cranked up to 11. The hair on top of my head was literally standing on end. I had goosebumps. ASMR was at an all-time high. Second thing: Dude I am so happy for you. You seem like you’re in a very good place and you look great. Serious kudos to you for taking care of yourself. And I’m sorry for the assholes sending you shitty messages. Ignore those people man. They don’t matter. You do do and keep on keeping on. You are awesome and great at what you do. Personally, thank you so much for your videos. They help me a ton. You are awesome Raffy!
What a person you are , You've come a long away despite your trials and tribulations . In my rough momments I'll think of you and how you made it through your roughest momments as we all go through many of those days , weeks , months or even years but what matters is that we try out best and never stop trying and striving to the top even if we don't feel like it . We appreciate you and are proud of your Victory and many victories to come In your Physical snd mental Journey . I wish and pray for the best .
I cannot believe someone this wholesome and joyful someone who lights up my mood with energy can be depressed, it really is so hard to spot depression man... Iam happy you are doing better & I hope things get better for you champ!
Thank you for being wholly and unapologetically you Raffy 💜 The sounds are one thing, but I think I speak for many when I say that it's so much more than the sounds that keep us coming back. It's the incredible human making them 💜 And to see that human fighting for their health and well being, that's nothing short of inspirational. Never stop man. Welcome back and let's enjoy the sounds, the moments, and YOU 😄💜
I love the light visual trigger (especially when the light is shining right into the camera) and I am looking forward for a whole video (maybe with follow the light movements) 🥰
Congratulations on 900k !!! Let's go for 1M fam!!!! Welcome back sir , we appreciate you and you have our full support whenever you need time for you !
Raffy, you are amazing for being honest and open about your depression. It's a real thing and just you talking about it will help others as well. Many well wishes to you and congrats on all your great progress! 😁
I love the rambling about life and what's been going on, personal struggle and motivation, it's both relaxing, calming, and inspiring, it feels good to know I'm not alone ya know, thank you raphy, never stop being you
You absolutely deserve every last sub. Thankyou... from someone who struggles to sleep almost every night, alot of the sleep I do get is thanks to you.
Tremendamente feliz de verte, Raffy. Espero estes bien, estoy que seguro que toda la comunidad está orgullosa de ti y los resultados que has conseguido. Un fuerte abrazo y lo mejor para ti.
Only someone who truly does deserve all of this love would be the one to tell us that he/she doesn’t deserve it. Crazy talk. You are a master of your craft that honestly and truly cares about your subscribers. We appreciate you and will ALWAYS be in your corner.
I missed you, buddy. You're looking fresh af, and I'm glad you're back. I know you're fighting the tough fight rn, a lot of us are, me included. Don't ever give up. For you and those who love and cherish you and your presence, but most importantly yourself. Continue living and experience a fulfilling life. I'm here cheering for your W. For all you've done for us, you deserve it. After all, it was never just the case that made the good sounds. It was you too, bro.
You are so sweet raffy. I’m glad you are feeling better and praying right now that you continue to feel okay. You look great. I’m proud of you and happy you are here!☀️🤍
So good to see you again, Raffy!!! I’m so happy to hear you are doing well, especially after such a rough period. We’re all rooting for you! Thank you for sharing some of your mental health journey with us - I’ve been there and it’s so important to talk about. ❤️
Raffy! It has never mattered to me how long you’ve been gone, I’m ALWAYS excited to see a new video from you! How dare anyone send you angry messages for taking time for yourself, you owe us NOTHING! Good to see you back, it matters not to me for how long. Take care of you FIRST, always!
I always remember going into the comments of taffy videos and seeing all the comments about how people missed him and how much they love the damn man 😂 So glad to see you’re doing well and are back at it!
Yo Raffy I really appreciate your asmr it’s amazing.. I can tell you go through a lot in life and it does get hard sometimes but you can’t enjoy the highs in life without the lows.. always glad when u make a comeback and it’s good to see u feeling good about yourself
Raffy you could never make a single video again and the decent people here would be grateful for the content you’ve given us up to now, don’t ever let anybody make you feel like you need to choose UA-cam over your well-being. Thank you for all that you create and all your hard work over the years, we will always support you no matter what ☺️
Welcome back Raffy 💙 It's good to hear you're taking good care of yourself, you don't owe anyone here on the channel anything, but of course it's nice to know what's going on with you, but the outside life is what matters the most and you being absent to take care of yourself is the right thing to do. I wish you all the luck in the world to get to where you want to be, I wish you good health and happiness 🙏💙
Today I am grateful to be here. Tomorrow is a new day. GOODNIGHT!

I’m getting a lot of messages on what I’m doing for fitness/diet: keep in mind everyone’s body is different

Then gym one or two times a day everyday, recently started weight training for an hour (light weight, high reps) 3 days a week to strengthen and supplement boxing training.
Key word is “trying”. I do indulge myself sometimes 😋

Oh boy you should see PvP games..
Absolutely! Well said. And there’s nothing to be ashamed of when it comes to mental health. I am glad more people are talking about it. We’re all in support of your healing journey, Raffy!
Agree, they are projecting
80 pounds in 6 months is actually outrageous Raffy. As a community, we are so fucking proud of you man

Dude I am so glad that you took a break, not necessarily because I thought you needed it but because it seems like you were able to truly find your way and improve yourself as much as possible. You seem very healthy and in impenetrably high spirits. Love your vids and I'm excited for the new videos now that you're feeling refreshed and ready to come back, much love.
I have been strugling with mental issues myself for the past few years and I only has been able to seek the help I need in the past month and it help me much. So it make me happy to see that you have found something thats work for you and I found you very strong to talk about it like that. You deserve everything you have. Thanks for everything you're a real men Raffy!
I’m here for your journey as much as I’m here for the good sounds. If that involves a break, then so be it. Glad to see you back and doing well.
Amen
Great response. Asmrtists feel like family. I genuinely just hope all is well when we don't see them for a while.
its good to hear and see you again Raffy, hope your mental health is taking it easy on you man. i hope you dont feel stressed on not uploading all this time, i speak for many people that are supporters of you and if anything we are glad you are taking time off to take care of personal things. you try your best and we are proud of ya mate. 😊💛 thank you for your effort.

Man it sucks to hear you dont think you deserve what you have.. You deserve every bit of it. Dont put yourself down dude you help many people in many ways so give yourself credit and thank you :)
yea i agree with that !
So glad to hear you're doing better mentally (and physically) :)
I don't even know how bitter people have to be to send angry messages when someone takes a needed brake for their mental health (or even just because they want to). No one is entitled to your time or energy - so thank you for taking your time to make such amazing content!
Raffy, I see myself in you, your face, your facial expressions... I'm suffering some mental difficulties, and I think that's Ok too, I see that you are suffering, and not being good, it's ok too, sometimes you need to stop, and take care of yourself...

Hope you feel better friend ❤️🧿
We might just look like letters on a screen, but behind them are a lot of people who care Raffy! Whether you upload or not! Feel free to take your own time to do anything at all especially regarding this channel. I think I can speak for everyone with a brain when saying we love to see you back, and we'll keep loving to see you back whether that's tomorrow, next week, next year or even later! Hang tight buddy! It sounds like you're making loads of progress! :)
I second this notion heavily

1000% spot on!!

Hey Raffy, I have been following the channel for a while now. I don’t always watch ASMR to go to sleep, but when I do I always come back to your channel. I hope you read this, and even though we don’t know each other, it’s great to see how far you’ve come with your channel, and also with your life as you’ve chosen to share. I’m sure I speak for all of your supporters when I say we’re all proud. I love the content, and I’m glad you take the time you need.
Well said
All the personal, mental and physical improvements you went through in these months are clear as light. Your eyes show it. Your entire expression and body language shows it. Congratulations for being able to overcome it all Raffy! Thanks for the video and have a great day!
I was a combat medic & am now a permanent 100% disabled veteran. I’ve gone through so many ups & downs and I thank you for being real and talking about depression. God bless u Raffy- thank u for the videos that help me fall asleep & thank u for keeping it real!🥰🥰🥰
Paused about a minute and a half into the video. Man. We all absolutely adore you dude! We just want to see you doing well. You’re such a deserving person, and I, much like the numerous other supporters in the comments, am so proud of you for taking the time to care of yourself. You’ve helped us all in so many different ways. You have done so much good to this world! You can always take the time you need for yourself, and we’re always going to back you. So proud of you dude. Keep killing it.
It takes special kind of strength to be able to recognise our emotions and inner signs that we are not well and work on them. You're a fighter Raffy, and I wish you peace and happiness, at least in the same amount you're giving us with your uploads.
Just grateful that you’re here brother, keep taking that time for yourself. The real one’s know what’s up ✊🏾 Definitely want to see you give out them GOOD HANDS in the ring!
💯
it's incredible to have you back, and really sad to hear that your time away was marred by harassment from "fans." we love your content, but only when its clear you love making it. take breaks when you need them, and we'll be here when you ready.
dude. he looks amazing, and you can literally sense and feel the happiness he has in this video. i’m so so proud of him :’)
Raffy! You look absolutely stunning man, I’m so happy to see the progress you’ve made with weight loss. You are one of the first ASMRists I have ever watched and even if it is only a one video every few months I always get excited seeing your name pop on on my recent videos page. Stay healthy Raff!
Seeing you looking so much healthier and happier is giving me so much serotonin
Raffy you'll always hold a special place in my world. From around 3 or 4 years ago, I found a video of yours with a white pillow and a bunch of other objects. I clicked on the vid and I loved it. Sleep for me then had been a struggle, but you allowed me that peace and helped me. You introduced me to a whole different side of youtube that i didn't know about, that i now love, so thank you. I hope you are well and whatever is happening with you improves, because you are just amazing and deserve the world.
I’ve been watching you since I was 15 and I’m now 21. It’s awesome to see your growth along with my own. I can’t tell you how many times your videos brought me peace when I was struggling. I know im not alone when I was you’ve been an amazing, positive figure and I wish you all the best !!
Perfect example of the indomitable human spirit. Keep it up Raffy, you're looking very healthy and happy!
man, you absolutely deserves all the subscribers, you seriously made my life better and helped me get going in my darkest times, thank you so much, I hope you hit the 1 million mark soon
You might not get the chance to see this message, but this is my first time ever watching you. I truly think your an amazing person and of course everyone has there own issues they deal with, I just want to thank you for providing such great content you deserve all the support, stay strong 💪🏽
I was literally laying here wondering what I’d put on to help me sleep. You’re the man! You look great. So happy you’re back, but I’m so glad you took the time you needed for your mental health. I hope you’re feeling better. ❤

It’s been as long as it needed to be; your physical changes have been so stark from even your last couple of videos and it’s crazy uplifting - taking time for yourself is as valuable a lesson to give as the videos you produce. You’re awesome mans
I doubt you’ll see this man, but I’m so proud of you. I’m so glad that your happy and finding your place in the gym and ring. So proud of you brother, stay awesome, keep on the grind!! 👑👑👑👑
Hey man, it’s so good to have you back. Whenever you come around, many of us are happy and ready to welcome you. If you need to step away, I like to think many more of us than not understand. Your health comes first and foremost. Thanks for all you do for us and the community.
Welcome back raffy I can say this representing the fan base, it’s glad to have you back and we are glad you are taking the steps you need to take.
im ʰᵉʳᵉ ᶠᵒʳ ᵘʳ ᵖʳᵒᶠ ᵖⁱᶜ ❤…𝘴𝘰𝘰𝘰𝘰 𝘤𝘶𝘵𝘦 ! 🤩
I've been watching asmr for about 5 years now. As I scroll through the comments I'm still amazed at this community. Nowhere else on UA-cam will you find such positivity and warmth in a comment section. Good luck Raffy! Way to go man! Looking 👍 🥰💗💤
Aye man, we all just here for the vibes
Except on the annoying bots posting the same message under every video. I'm more amazed by the comment section in this particular channel, as I've never seen hate comments. Anyways, for the ones who red it all, have a good day
Yes love some good people supporting someone on social media
As a man who understands the daily battle of depression and still have days that depression wins, I would not mind another video about your journey recently. What helped your journey and what hurt your journey? Hope you have great days coming Raff!
I feel you bro. It's good to vent here, but remember, when you're feeling like 10%, it's time to get:
+10% from a good therapist
+10% from hitting the gym/run 4 days a week, even if it's just 30-40 mins per day
+10% from a good sleep schedule
+10% from drinking and eating healthy
+10% from meditation, mindfulness or whatever method you prefer
In a couple months, it will get you to 60%. And sustaining that 60% for a couple more will bring you out of this state, at least for a few years. Just don't sink into it. Big hugs from a fellow person with struggles of his own!
Relatable Fr
Proud of you dawg it takes a lot to work on yourself and come back and tell people about your struggles. All your followers are here for you and in full support, always gonna support the best asmrtist that there is
SO HAPPY YOU ARE BACK! It's okay to not be OKAY Raffy! You have to work on you before anyone else. Give yourself some grace. Your real fans will always be here. I hope you see this comment. Take care friend! 🙂
I wonder when people will realize that youtubers owe you literally nothing lol. You can take a 3 year break if that's what you need Raphy. Heck. If you need, you could never make another video. I'm glad you chose to make at least one more for us. The point being, no UA-camr deserves angry messages for lack of posting videos. You have to do what's best for you. Always.
Raffy, wow...espero que leas esto. Te conocí hace ya varios años, cuando el "ASMR" no estaba de 'moda' (como sucede en la actualidad); para mi, eres el pionero, verte/escucharte me ha tranquilizado un sin número de noches en mi vida. Sea lo que sea que estés atravesando ahora, por favor considera todo lo que has logrado en las personas, has traído calma/paz a sus vidas, eres un ser realmente importante. Te mando un fuerte abrazo desde Ecuador y GRACIAS, GRACIAS TOTALES por tu dedicación y por brindar calma/paz y tranquilidad, a través de tus videos y tu tiempo.
wow que comentario tan lindo y conmovedor Belen, casi lloro yo también!
😅
this is such a beautiful comment Belén and so very true Raffy 💝
My homie, yours was one of the channels I found during my dark days. In my weakest moments, your positive vibes helped me on the nights I did not want to be alone with my thoughts. I wish you the very best on your own journey.
As someone who as experienced mental health issues since the age of 8, I can say that taking those steps to recover from the low points in your life can really change you. I am so glad you are feeling better and it’s amazing to know you’re working towards that. Have an amazing summer and get yourself out there again!
You constantly inspire me. I am always rewatching your old uploads, my friend. Your videos bring me so much peace and comfort and just knowing you’re alive and well is far happier a thing to celebrate than another upload. None of us mind the breaks if it means you’re doing well! We love you Raffy!
Thank you for everything, Raffy. You helped me get through quite a bit of hardship. I can't say I've been here since the beginning, but I have enjoyed every second of this journey. Stay strong my friend.
You were one of the first people I started listening to when I started watching ASMR. I think the first one I saw was the cranial nerve exam roleplay… to this day, this channel has been my saving grace when I can’t sleep, and want to listen to some good sounds “only” lol, so thank you Raffy for years of great content and effort! My sleep schedule thanks you!
80lbs in 6 months you’re an inspiration Raffy. Thank you for everything you do for us.
the last 10 minutes where so tingly like woah….glad i was here till the end….i like your energy raffy
I love you man! You’ve touched so many lives on this channel and to see you working in your mental, physical, and overall health makes me so happy! You give me inspiration for my UA-cam channel and I think of all the great influencers I watch every time I hit record! Do whatever you need for you and we will always be here for a new video wether it’s a month or a year I’ll always be happy to see you!
My gosh looking amazing Raffy, I'm soo proud of u I see a lot of improvement keep it up my brother. I could tell u looked forward to coming back to this. And just know a lot of us will stay here and wait for u. What some people don't understand is that it's good to work on yourself when u are engaged with the UA-cam community.
Hello there! Raffy you helped me with my mental health after I lost my job and social life because of Post-Covid. And for all the years I have been following, you just always make me happy and relaxed. It is so good to hear that you are doing well and I am so proud of you!
This is it!!! THIS is it! I’m so glad to see you back. Greetings from Paris. 🙏🏻
You definitely deserve 900,000, you’ve been one of the best Asmrtist for a very long time now. I’ve Never seen a bad Raffy vid
So glad to hear that you’re doing better! We missed you, but your health (mental, physical, AND emotional) is a million times more important than new content. I, like many others, was perfectly happy rewatching some of my fav videos of yours for the past couple of months. 😀😀😀
Welcome back Raffy ❤️ you were never gone. And I’m glad that you’re coming up stronger than ever before. You look fantastic and it makes me happy to see you shine so bright ✨
I was literally looking through your channel LAST NIGHT and thought about how much I missed your videos. I can’t describe how happy I am to see that you posted. Much love and so happy you are doing better
love this guy fo real. has been in every stage of my teen years into adulthood. glad when he comes back, but appreciates when he takes time for himself.
You've always got such a calm, kind, supportive and fun spirit in your videos. You really could've fooled me that you've been in a difficult place for so long. But your well being is important so even though you've been away it's good to know that you've been spending this time improving yourself and bettering your physical and mental health. It's visible in more ways than one. I'm glad that you've been sticking with it this far. Dedication and discipline, never lose sight and never give up! Keep up the good work my man.
As someone who's been to the brink and back, and who has to generally sort of be guarded about my experience due to employment circumstances, but will open up in one on one situations with trusted folks, I commend you for using your platform to talk about your experience. It was not as socially acceptable at the time I got better to talk about such things, and it's still stigmatized by some, but the more we can have open dialogue and normalize prioritization of mental health and that mental health struggles are part of the human experience for many people, the less stigmatized it will be.
On a person-to-person level, I'm genuinely ecstatic that you're getting better. I've seen ASMRtists whom I know suffer from MH issues disappear before, including possibly my all time favorite (who professed to be heavily influenced by you), but unless they come back and tell their story, we can all only hope for the best for them. I will listen to you all day today at work to celebrate your road to recovery. Keep doing the hard work. It pays off in dividends once you come through it. Much
Hey man, there’s never anything wrong with a mental break! You’re a beautiful human being and you mean so much to all of us, you’re amazing and deserve all the good things this world has to offer. I really hope you’re good and that whatever obstacles life throws at you, you overcome and become even stronger than what you already are ❤️
Don't be sorry for rambling Raffy! We love just hearing you talk about whatever comes to mind :)
However long between videos doesn't matter, just to know you're still enjoying life through all the downs and ups. It's always good to hear from you
perfect timing you never owe us anything raffy but happy to have you back you look amazing
always enjoy hearing & seeing new updates from you
your content is truly unmatchable + will always have many of us here to stay!!
Dear Raphy,thank you for sharing your story,I work on a ward for depression as a nurse.what you did there was a lot of hard work and you can be proud of yourself! I admire you as an ASMR artist, now also as a survival artist and as a human being. ASMR can be an important part of recovery, thank you for contributing so much, thank you for helping me slow down my day. Best regards Nady🌺🌷💐
I've never, ever commented a youtube video, but today, I need to : Thank you. Thank you for making me sleep every night, thank you for bringing me peace when I needed it, thank you for making me practicing my english (I'm a french fan lol). You absolutely deserve every pieces of your success, you're the best man, I've been following you since several years, and you bring me so much. Welcome back !
Watching great ASMR from your favourite ASMRtist while they talk very relatably about their mental health makes for the most soothing and reassuring 72 minutes. Thanks Raffy.

No matter how many times you take breaks, I'll always be here to support you along with many others. I'm so glad to hear you're doing well. Keep up the great work Raffy!
First thing: tingles were cranked up to 11. The hair on top of my head was literally standing on end. I had goosebumps. ASMR was at an all-time high.
Second thing: Dude I am so happy for you. You seem like you’re in a very good place and you look great. Serious kudos to you for taking care of yourself. And I’m sorry for the assholes sending you shitty messages. Ignore those people man. They don’t matter. You do do and keep on keeping on. You are awesome and great at what you do. Personally, thank you so much for your videos. They help me a ton. You are awesome Raffy!

In my rough momments I'll think of you and how you made it through your roughest momments as we all go through many of those days , weeks , months or even years but what matters is that we try out best and never stop trying and striving to the top even if we don't feel like it .

Thank you for being wholly and unapologetically you Raffy 💜 The sounds are one thing, but I think I speak for many when I say that it's so much more than the sounds that keep us coming back. It's the incredible human making them 💜 And to see that human fighting for their health and well being, that's nothing short of inspirational. Never stop man. Welcome back and let's enjoy the sounds, the moments, and YOU 😄💜
I love the light visual trigger (especially when the light is shining right into the camera) and I am looking forward for a whole video (maybe with follow the light movements) 🥰
Congratulations on 900k !!! Let's go for 1M fam!!!! Welcome back sir , we appreciate you and you have our full support whenever you need time for you !

You absolutely deserve every last sub. Thankyou... from someone who struggles to sleep almost every night, alot of the sleep I do get is thanks to you.
Tremendamente feliz de verte, Raffy. Espero estes bien, estoy que seguro que toda la comunidad está orgullosa de ti y los resultados que has conseguido. Un fuerte abrazo y lo mejor para ti.
Exacto, es muuuuuy buena persona 😊😊
Only someone who truly does deserve all of this love would be the one to tell us that he/she doesn’t deserve it.
Crazy talk.
You are a master of your craft that honestly and truly cares about your subscribers. We appreciate you and will ALWAYS be in your corner.
The goat has returned! very glad you’re back and feeling better, never will give up ❤️
The strength this man has is amazing, keep making your body and mind stronger. Stay positive raffy, keep becoming a better you.
7 day in a row I’m watching this to fell asleep. Raffys vids are just another vibe
You don’t owe us anything, Raffy. Thanks for the YEARS of reusable, unmatched content. Thrilled to see you again. Lookin’ great.
I missed you, buddy. You're looking fresh af, and I'm glad you're back. I know you're fighting the tough fight rn, a lot of us are, me included.

Raffy! It has never mattered to me how long you’ve been gone, I’m ALWAYS excited to see a new video from you! How dare anyone send you angry messages for taking time for yourself, you owe us NOTHING! Good to see you back, it matters not to me for how long. Take care of you FIRST, always!
I don’t care
I always remember going into the comments of taffy videos and seeing all the comments about how people missed him and how much they love the damn man 😂

Just in time for bed! Happy to see you again, Raffy!
Yo Raffy I really appreciate your asmr it’s amazing.. I can tell you go through a lot in life and it does get hard sometimes but you can’t enjoy the highs in life without the lows.. always glad when u make a comeback and it’s good to see u feeling good about yourself
You should be so proud of yourself! Currently going through one of my lowest, you’re an inspiration ❤️ and amazing sounds as always
Raffy you could never make a single video again and the decent people here would be grateful for the content you’ve given us up to now, don’t ever let anybody make you feel like you need to choose UA-cam over your well-being. Thank you for all that you create and all your hard work over the years, we will always support you no matter what ☺️
This video reminds me why you’re the absolute definition of an ASMRtist. Nobody does it like you! Love it every time!
Welcome back Raffy 💙 It's good to hear you're taking good care of yourself, you don't owe anyone here on the channel anything, but of course it's nice to know what's going on with you, but the outside life is what matters the most and you being absent to take care of yourself is the right thing to do. I wish you all the luck in the world to get to where you want to be, I wish you good health and happiness 🙏💙
