Long term usage and anxiety?

Hey all, I am a pretty daily user, 99% of the time through vapes. Recently I've been getting extreme anxiety, and some have suggested I lay off weed for a while. Would anyone say that it'll help?
Some background story: this year was a particularly hard one for me in general because S.O. has developed cancer. I found out in the middle of the semester and that sprung me into a pool of depression. I was still able to get most of my work done and pass my classes. Now things are much better because S.O. is now healthy, but I still feel that lingering depression. School has started up again recently and S.O broke up with me, which only triggered a lot more anxiety (now we're back together, but still feeling a lot of anxiety). With all the emotional strain I wasn't able to finish an assignment which triggered my anxiety even more, to the point I had multiple mini panic attacks in my head.
So during all this, I didn't exactly increase my usage of marijuana. I've used it to escape the anxiety a few times and to fall asleep more easily. So my question is, would anyone say that my long term usage has increased the level of anxiety I feel? I never had a bad trip from weed, nor do I ever get paranoia. I'm just wondering if cutting off the herb will help lessen the anxiety I have now.
Thanks for reading.
