Oh I am so sorry...I did not mean for that to scare you at all!!!
It is so, so common for us to hear an initial post from a member, and never hear from them again. It happens daily actually.
It is not because something has happened to them. In fact, when we do hear from them again, after a prolonged time, it is usually because they have recovered from whatever was bothering them at the time of their first posting!
Often too, people will put a bunch of first posts out to several sites, and then never return to most of them.
You are going to be alright. You are reaching out, and that is a first great step! Have you also consulted with your doctor about
your options?
I would recommend starting there. Fear of health concerns and dying are really common with anxiety...and this is treatable! Make an appointment with your health care provider and start that conversation.;)
In the meantime, check out that above link...there are lots of great self-help ideas in there...as well as two books on health anxiety specifically, one with a chapter of the fear of dying.
Keep posting if you find it helpful.

p.s. here is the link for the book with the chapter specific to the fear of dyinghttp://www.amazon.com/Overcoming-Health-Anxiety-David-Veale/dp/1845298241 Thought is might be easier than you looking through the entire Resources for it...but have a look at the other stuff in there when you get a chance.:)
