If you live with health anxiety, you already know the loop.
A sensation. A search. A moment of relief. And then, an hour or a day later, "But what if?"
You are not being dramatic. You are frightened, and you are tired, and being told to "just stop worrying" has never once told you what to do next.
Steady is a place to say that out loud, to people who get it, and to have a practical next step ready for the hard moments.
What support looks like inside

I'd like someone to listen
I have a scan on Thursday and I have already rehearsed every bad outcome. I know checking my symptoms again tonight will not help, but my hands keep reaching for my phone. I mostly just needed to say that somewhere.

The night before a scan is the worst stretch of the whole thing. I'm glad you wrote it here instead of carrying it alone. I'll be thinking of you Thursday.

That sounds exhausting. I'm glad you told us. We can't assess the symptom here, but we can talk about how the worry is affecting you. Would you prefer someone to listen, or would you like help trying a short exercise for the wait before Thursday?
You choose the support
Ask for listening, encouragement, or help practicing a skill. Or just read. Listening is a valid way to participate.
Familiar faces
Your circle of 10 to 12 members meets twice a month with the same facilitator, so people get to know your story.
Trained moderators
Hosts keep discussions constructive and gently guide members toward useful support, during published hours.
Hi, my name is Wayne Harrel.
And I battled health anxiety for 15 years.
Fifteen years is a long time to spend wondering whether something is wrong with you.
A long time to lose sleep. To go over the same thoughts. To get an answer, feel some relief, and then find yourself asking, "But what if?"
I spent thousands of dollars trying to get certainty. Tests. More tests. More insurance coverage than I believe I needed. And countless hours trying to think my way into feeling safe.
But the money is only part of what I lost.
The part that hurts most is the life I wasn't fully there for.
The things I wanted to enjoy while my attention kept drifting back to my health. The ambitions I struggled to act on because my mind was occupied with another possible problem. The time I'll never get back.
I'm sharing this because, if you're living through something similar, I want you to know who's behind Steady. And why this matters so much to me.
A place to talk. People who get to know you. Practical help for what comes next.
You don't have to know how to explain everything before joining. You don't have to finish a course before you deserve support. You can start with:
"I'm having a difficult day. I'd like someone to listen."

Easy Pause & Return

The community. The circles. The app. The course. The live learning. All seven bonuses.
Your founding membership is $49 per month.
MOST FLEXIBLE
Monthly
$49/month
Billed monthly. Cancel anytime. Founding rate locked while active.
Annual, 2 months free
$490/year
Prepay 10 months, get 12. Same founding-rate lock.
I want to explain that price honestly.
Running a membership like this costs money. Moderators need training and support. Facilitators need to be paid. The app, website, and resources need maintaining. And reaching people costs money too, including advertising to help people discover that this support exists.
I'm trying to keep the founding membership at $49 while we get Steady established.
But the price will go up.
If you join at $49, that monthly rate stays yours for as long as your paid membership remains continuously active, even when the price for new members increases. If you pause or cancel, the founding-rate lock ends. You can return at the rate available then.
I haven't set the increase date yet. For now, the founding rate is available.
7 day money back guarantee. Try Steady for a week. If it isn't the right place for you, write to us within 7 days for a full refund.
$49 billed monthly. Cancel anytime. All seven bonuses included at no additional charge during active membership. Individual therapy costs extra.
One thing I want you to know before you join.
If you're coming here because you want someone to reassure you, I understand. I spent years wanting that too.
You're welcome to tell us. You're welcome to talk about how frightened or exhausted you feel.
Our members and moderators can't diagnose symptoms or establish that you're healthy. What they can do is listen, offer encouragement, and help you practice a useful next step when the search for certainty starts taking over.
You'll know that approach from the beginning.
I can't promise that joining will make your worries disappear.
I can tell you why I'm putting this together.
Because I remember the person I was. Because I remember how much I wanted peace. And because I want you to have access to the understanding, community, and practical guidance I wish I'd found sooner.
You can take your first step today. Start your welcome path. Explore a tool. Choose an available circle session.
And when you're ready, tell us what's been weighing on you.
P.S. You don't have to arrive feeling hopeful, confident, or ready to tell your whole story. If all you're ready to do is listen, that's enough to begin.
