sidonglophobia

I've been out of work and on PWD since the beginning of the year, thanks to a five-week stay in the hospital (my second admission in the three months I was at my most recent job). I'd like to get off disability and get a job, but doing what? I don't think I could get a job now doing what I was doing before, nor would I want to (the stress contributed to my illness). I was thinking about going to school to be a medical laboratory assistant. I had pretty much decided to apply to the six-month medical laboratory assistant program at VCC... until I realized this job would require me to touch cotton balls all day. It seems silly to say that I think I would be fine jabbing people with needles to collect their blood, but that I couldn't touch cotton balls. Not really sure what to do now.

You should probably explain what sidonglophobia actually is and how it has affected you. -(?)

You do realize you're on the internet, right? Answers abound. Besides, the definition of sidonglophobia is implied within the confession, as is the implications of said phobia.

Just looked it up. Sidonglophobia is the fear of cotton balls.
Now I get it.
