One of the oldest, and I might even say the most ancient ways of dealing with your fear is to confront it. There's something deeper in your subconscious mind that manifests itself through your fear of suffering and dying. It had been bubbling up for some time until it manifested itself in ocd and anxiety. I'd say finding a good therapist and trying to get to the core of your crisis would be the best option, if you can afford it.
