I laughed, and I don't even know why.

wouldn't it be an absolute RIOT if it was all a setup and they completely betrayed her trust by having the clown suddenly begin chasing her with a serrated knife?  BWAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHA!!!!

Woman Terrified Of Cotton Balls

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAH holy shit i love maury.

I know --- er, I feel really bad because I laughed so hard when those cotton men went after her. That was not a very nice thing for Maury to do (and to hear him laughing in the background made me think he must have a really perverted, twisted side), but then *I* was laughing so I guess I should keep my thoughts about Maury to myself!

If you have a goddam mortal fear of cotton balls then you deserve to be tormented on national television.

You know what?  I have an anxiety disorder so severe that I've been disabled an unable to work due to it in the past.  Now, I' bet you're saying "Oh hell - she's gonna stick up for this woman" 

Guess what? NOT!

These kinds of specific fears are treatable. Desensitization often works.  Learning to associate the fear item with something nice can help (as long as the something nice is something you like A LOT more than you fear the fear item) And, you can also learn to live with it.

I've never quite been able to get over my claustrophobia or fear of heights.  It's not even an emotional feeling, really.  It's purely physiological - vision gets blurry and my thought process fuzzes up etc . . .

BUT - unless someone closed me in a Plexiglas capsule and hung me from a sky scraper - with no rescue in sight - I'm NOT going to scream and cry! (That is, until I get the person who did it to me back in some corner and am ready to go postal on him  ; )

These women are getting a lot of attention for their dramatics.  It isn't helping!

It is interesting.  In college I had a friend who had a debilitating fear of tall buildings.  Sort of the opposite of a fear of heights.  When we drove by a tall building he would end up on the floor of my car whimpering.
