I moved to FL just a couple of years ago. When I first got here, I looked high and low for support groups for Eating Disorders. I was very surprised to find there were few to none. Does any one know of any in the Tampa/St. Pete area?

Hi Beth - perhaps you and these women can either start your own group or perhaps if you contact them, one may have already been started. If I find anything else, I will post it for you. Best of luck.

Beth, I have an ED. I do not belong to any group, but if you need to talk, I am here. Been there, still going through it for 30 years. When we move out, we can work something out to go together - Feel feel to contact me. - Jeep

You are welcome!

211 is a number you dial in the county and they can give you referrals to social services. They basically have a directory of all services in Hillsborough County

I actually started a group when I first moved here because I couldn't find anything and I really enjoy facilitating it, but I think I'd like to have another group to pop into once in awhile to kind of 'focus on me' a bit.

Thanks for the offer to contact you JeepGirl! The same goes for you!

jessie~ Thank you for your suggestion as well!

I actually checked with my supervisor (a clinical psychologist who is very familar with services) and he said that there are few or no groups! That is horrible! I'll keep you posted if I find anything!
