Anyone know anything about Honduras??
I'm currently living in Honduras and I find myself in need of professional help to deal with my depression and self harm issues. In order to get in touch with a doctor, I'm going to have to tell my boss what's going on so she can help me find someone. I'm very nervous because I don't know what the general feeling of the people is regarding mental illness. Back home in the states, people are slowly becoming more aware and the stigma is slowly being dropped. I have a sneaking suspicion that isn't the case here though.
My husband is from honduras. Ppl there are very welcoming but I notice when it come to mental issues such as depression and such they tend to think it something you need to deal with in private. Which I totally disagree with. Also religion seems to be a big factor in dealing with these issues with fellow Hondurans. Healthcare is very hard to come by in honduras and you need to pay ahead to even be treated. What part of honduras, if yOu don't mind me asking.
I'm in the Copán Ruinas area. I figured this was going to be a bit of a struggle. I really don't want my boss to think of me any differently or think that maybe it wouldn't be a good idea to have me back next year or something because of this.
Is your boss Honduran? Does your work offer any type of healthcare that includes what you are going thur?
Yes, she is Honduran. And I'm really not sure. Initially, coming into this, I was under the impression that they did provide at least some kind of health insurance while I'm here...but nothing has been said about it at all. Communication is kind of terrible with almost everything.
Excellent idea! Thank you!
Hi! I am living in Honduras as well. Let me know what ended up happening! I am looking into therapy or something here as well, but mine is more so for anxiety and OCD.
