I was just wondering what your most unusal habit is or was, in relation to your emetohpbia.
When I was younger I wouldn't sleep in my room, for a number of years I barely slept in my room, I slept on the couch or in my mums bed, or on a few occasions, next to my mums toilet (ensuite). I think i started growing out of it after the last time I got sick and become attached to a transparent blue bucket. I kept it under my bed, ALWAYS. I couldn't sleep without it, it was like a teddy. I used to get into bed and reach my hand down to tap the side to make sure it was there, I couldn't sleep if it wasn't there. Even when I was taken on holidays with family, It came with me. In my late teens I managed to get past the need for it, though I have an identical bucket to that one, (used for carrying cleaning stuff and mopping floors), and I wont let anyone who feels sick use it. I have a smaller dark blue bucket I give to my partner if he wants one when he's n*.
I think that is the only "unusual' habit I have. Unless sitting outside when I'm feeling sick counts. Coldness and freshair help me calm myself down.
Oh, fans and something to write on and with. I keep a hand fan and something to write with next to my bed. Fan for air, writing and drawing to distract me. And sometimes i give into my old habit and sleep on the couch, not very well i must add... and when on the couch, I have my fan and writing stuff. I usually wind up back in bed around 5am, if not sooner.
