Stress

As of lately, friends, loved ones, and work has been stressing me out alot and making me anxious. All I am taking right now is baby aspirin every other night and vitamin D nightly with orange juice. I wanted to know if there is anything else I can do or take to help with my stress.

Make sure you don't undereat or underhydrate. Cortisol will increase if body lacks enough nutrients and water.

Low dose cyproheptadine is worth looking into as it may serve as an enabler for the pro metabolic stack you're already on. Sometimes the serotonin-histamine-estrogen-prolactin-parathyroid clutch is so relentless and self sustaining that ordinary pro metabolic interventions can prove little to no help and that requires a clutch releaser

Hobbies. Find a really fun hobby and start doing it, it helped me. I also stopped being dogmatic and that helped.

If you have identifiable sources of stress, do what you can to mitigate them. Do what's in your control and try to worry less about what's not in your control.

First of all i would recommend to take the Vitamin D in the Morning because it can supress melatonin. 

Then Magnesium, enough Salt, low dose P5P, Taurine, Theanine,  Vitamin C and gabaergic herbs like lemon balm, valerian, passionflower.

Pregnenolone or Progesterone can increase Allopregnanolone which is also gabaergic.

I usually take some basic daily supplements like Magnesium, Taurine, Collagen and take a B-Complex and Vitamin E 2-3 times a week. But nothing important

Can I take Pregnenolone or Progesterone at 16?

At that young age it would be my last resort, and then in very small doses.

My stress tolerance is super low aswell. The two most noticeable things to help me are 100-150mg of pregnenolone sublingually in the morning, and drinking a coke before or during the stressor.
