you have to declare war on sweden to stop the annex. its the only way iirc once the annex has started.

To stop them from being able to annex you, you have to keep your opinion of them below 190. as long as it doesnt get that high they cannot start the annex. But this only works before they start annexing you.

I'm not sure if you need to have art of war or if it was a free patch feature, but you may be able to ask Sweden to make you a march rather than a vassal. If they agree, they won't be able to annex you, you will no longer pay them taxes and you get several military bonuses.

Failing that, just go to war with them. Try to get Sweden's rivals to support your independence so you might have a chance of winning, but even if it's largely futile just do it anyway. Assuming Sweden doesn't just annex you in the war, it will at least reset the annexation timer and lower your opinion of them.
