I logged into MySQL via terminal (as root) did a SHOW DATABASES; The 4 standard databases showed up but my wordpress, form_submission, and development databases were gone. I also looked in /var/lib/mysql/. I also grep'd around for the database names and could find anything

Thanks.  That is definitely very odd. 

Oh, so the files themselves are gone?  I had thought that the files were still there based on early descriptions.  If the files are gone... not much to be done.
