Smoke Weed Because It Helps Relieve Stress. Why Am I Still Anxious?

basically i smoke weed because it helps relieve stress , but i always seem to get anxious from it i dont have the confidence i used to. i dont really want to stop smoking it because of how much it relaxes me. Is there a way i can get my confidence back and stop my anxiety other than using pills and stopping weed. Thank you
