Welcome to Wave Back!

Hi! Welcome to my first ever blog post! I will post blogs twice a week to share my stories, give advice, and raise awareness for mental health. Here's a little bit more about me!

---

My name is Charlotte Busch-Vogel and I'm a senior at Columbia High School! I play field hockey and I love to ski. During the pandemic, my life kind of stalled. I went down a really bad path that led me to be hospitalized for anorexia. Now, almost a year later, I am ready to share my story. I'm finally strong enough to do this (I think). More importantly, I am here to hopefully help others.

One thing I learned through this process is that it is so much harder to do this alone. When I connected with others, we gave each other strength. Now, I feel it is my turn to return the favor. With this blog, I hope I can pass this strength around, provide suppport and 'wave back' at you to remind you that you are not alone. You have gotten through one hundred percent of your worst days and I would be honored to be some sort of inspiration to help you get through the challenges that lie ahead.
