Hey Brittany, I too sleep with a bucket next to the bed, just in case. When ever I go somewhere first thing is I always look to see where a bin or the toliet is, just in case. I too aviod going anywhere if feeling sick, just in case of not being home when I am feeling sick. I think they can say that it is sort of a social emetophobia. I also when I go to the movies or shows, sit on the aisle and next to an exit, incase I need to escape...It can be such a head-ache most of the time....Take Care....Amari
