going on holiday :/

[chility]

im going to centre parcs tomorrow for 4 days with my brother and my friend's family.
its going to be really hot and we'll be going swimming loads. my friend knows i self harm and is trying really hard to stop me doing it.
i cant say i fell off my bike or anything, because i don't cut or slit, I burn with hair straightners.
i dont know what i can say??
and i dont no how im going to go 2 complete days without self harm?
also i have eating disorders, and they kind of lend to the self harm. If i dont eat for, say, 30 hours, i dont self harm. but if i eat then i have to self harm. and we're going to be eating loads on holiday - home cooked food i cant turn down

any ideas please..

Hey there!
You should check out the alternatives thread for some ideas of things you can do instead of hurting yourself. www.teenhelp.org/alternatives
As far as what to tell the people you're with, you could either wear stuff to cover the burns up, such as long sleeves or long shorts and swim in that, or...you could use this as an opportunity to get help for this. Self-harm is an addiction and it can be really hard to quit. But, if you have support and people to lift you up when you're down, it can be extremely helpful. I know talking to people about something like that is really hard and really uncomfortable and scary, but it could really help you. It could be what you've needed for a while.
You don't need to hurt yourself, by self-harming or with the ED. You deserve to be happy, and I promise you that neither of those is going to bring you happiness. They're not going to make things better.
Reach out for help, you can get through this. You don't need or deserve this.
Hang in there!
