Addiction to computers?

Question

My situation:
For the last 3-4 years I have been really addicted to computers and computer games. I spent (on free days) 10 hrs per day and on school days 6 or so next to the computer playing games. I dont know what happened over the summer, maybe its the crappy situation in the game (its an MMORPG which got taken over by a crappy company) or maybe i grew up out of it but I lost all touch for the game, and games in general. This game was really addictive, i mean i would think about it basically all day and I would wake up really excited to play the game. Now, I wake up and I am really excited or nervous (i dont know how to explain) but there is no longer a reason and I feel like i developed an anxiety disorder or something. Right now I keep thinking as if I am going to go crazy and i dont feel right not playing games. But I also dont want to play them and end up in my 20's remembering my teen years as 1 video game.

And I also think i am depressed because I keep putting myself down and saying to myself that I have no future because I used to play games. I also feel like nobody wants to speak to me although they do and I feel like anything i say sounds stupid. So is it possible this is all due to the games?

You definitely sound under self-esteemed, and you seem to have an addictive personality. Either way, you could use a trip to the psychiatrist. Just for a consultation.
