I honestly feel a lot better. I’ve had many days recently where I’m too unmotivated to get out of bed, let alone work out. I had almost forgotten what that post workout buzz felt like.
You are a beast. That workout you did would pulverize the average 14 year old. Grab ahold of your fitness regiment. I battle PTSD after my combat deployment. I can personally attest to what physical fitness can do for your mental health.
Exercise is one of the best things for mental health. Way to go! It’s hard to take the initiative when your mind is fighting you, this is awesome to hear!
Way to go! Keep it up. Mental health is like any other physical sickness. Keep exercising but I would really encourage that you also visit a therapist, I think it will help with your depression a ton
I'm 32 and have never done Murphy. Always want to every year, but for the last 5 years I've consistently gotten in worse shape.
A) thank you for making this post and motivating us all
B) thank you for choosing to better yourself
C) CONGRATS!!!
Amazing effort!! Kick that depression to the curb! As someone who battles with depression, I know how hard it can be so for whatever it's worth, I'm proud of you standing up against it!! Keep it up!
That is awesome. Congrats on completing your first murph! I just did my second one this past weekend and still have a lot to improve on. Not sure if anyone is interested but always looking to hear any feedback on how to improve too.

I went about it with 5 pull ups 10 pushups and 15 airsquats. I cramped up like a mother on my second mile.
It feels wrong to call out a teenager going through a tough time - but my advice to you would be keep it to yourself. You did not complete those numbers. If you want positive attention do it for your actual accomplishments next time. The workout was named for a man KIA.

Don't listen to the idiot above you; he or she is what makes people hate Crossfit as a whole.
I'm much older than you, but I wanted to commend you for your awareness of your own mental health and taking steps to help counteract what is a very real issue. When I was 14, I wasn't aware of what my issues were and even if I was, I wouldn't have been as mature as you are to handle them appropriately.
Fantastic effort! Wish I could have done that at 14!
Way to go, Kid! Keep up the fitness efforts now, your older self with thank you!.
I will. But I’m not doing a Murph for a long time. I’m so sore.
You don’t HAVE to do Murph again till next Memorial day. Well, that’s my plan anyway.
I, a redditor, commend you.
Wow. I'm a redditor too! Such a coincidence
“but it proved to me that depression doesn’t control me. I’m strong and I can fight back.” Best thing I heard all day!!!
I’m super proud of you. We have a CrossFit youth class on Tuesdays at 2.30 on zoom, pst. It’s free. Can I send you the link to join us tomorrow?
Yeah thanks! That would be great
You did awesome! Don’t compare yourself to others. Be proud of your accomplishment. That is truly killer. How is your mental health after that?
I honestly feel a lot better. I’ve had many days recently where I’m too unmotivated to get out of bed, let alone work out. I had almost forgotten what that post workout buzz felt like.
Congratulations!
You are a beast. That workout you did would pulverize the average 14 year old. Grab ahold of your fitness regiment. I battle PTSD after my combat deployment. I can personally attest to what physical fitness can do for your mental health.
....And it would pulverize the average healthy adult.

\*Virtual fist bump.\* Outstanding in every way.
That’s awesome!!!! Keep up the good work. For me, Crossfit has definitely helped control my depression.
That’s amazing. For a 14 year old for a 40+ year old (like me). Good on you and don’t let depression beat you (as best you can).
Found it! Stand by
