Hi Rosemary,
I just wanted to let you know that I also fear being alone. In fact, my anxiety/panic began 7 years ago when I moved away from my family, I was like you afraid of getting sick and having no help. My anxiety/panic sort of just all subsided about 2 years back and just recently flared up so I'm also doing the program. I've started repeating this little mantra "I'm willing to live with that possiblity" (that being whatever fear or worry)
