Gambling addiction?

I'm now 17 years old and have recognized that games can make you sick. I also understand better why there are things like youth protection law and such. I watched this video

It was so, when I was 14 I came home and saw that there was a Ps4 in my living room. I was totally impressed and couldn't believe it. I turned it on and played the game Just Cause 3. I played and played and at some point I went so far as to play the game, although I wasn't having fun and just gambled to get ahead in the game. Then at some point the game Fortnite came on the market. I was playing at Gta and my friends said download this game, I did it and I played it and at the same time I played and talked to my friends. But it was always the case that when someone died in Fortnite, they were directly blemished and someone always reacted aggressively. So then I sought recognition. I played the game until I was good and got wins to get recognition. So at some point I was 15. At 15 it was really bad with gambling addiction. I almost didn't pay attention to real life anymore, just the virtual world. I always wanted to feel good and never be in a bad mood. I went to play 6 hours or more a day. At some point it was like this that I and my old friends argued, insulted each other and almost threatened us if we played badly. At some point our friendship broke up. I was always in a bad mood and depressed when playing and also more aggressive. I reacted impulsively to everything. At some point, thoughts came up such that people have everything on me and only wish me all the bad. Although nobody said anything bad to me except my fake friends. At some point I also had panic attacks and zero self-confidence. So when I was 16 it went better, I played less and paid more attention to my life, but still had a gambling addiction, eventually built my own PC and played on it, on the PC I then went out with real friends played that were always clear that it was just a game what they were playing and always said when I was aggressive: this is just a graphic, not a reason to be angry. So now I'm 17 and have played 3-4 hours a day for the last few days a week and I still have thoughts that people wish me something bad, although nobody tells me anything. So after this story, my question comes up: How can I overcome my gambling addiction, and from when are you addicted and how can you regain true self-confidence and how can I stop thinking that you wish me the bad.

After all, better than playing in the game library. Simply set limits and take priorities.

Thank you!

You can overcome gambling addiction by telling Jesus about this mistake, asking about the Holy Spirit and asking for repentance. Then you replace this habit and this period with something meaningful (reading the Bible, getting to know church contacts, dealing with Jesus)

Oh please, that's a serious issue

So recognizing your "problem" is a first good step. Structure your activities (a kind of leisure schedule) and show discipline in keeping with them. Other things can also be interesting, but it's hard to notice when you're just playing. But it's harder to get out there alone.

There's of course medical help in the form of therapy.

Group therapy e.g. For example, when group conversations are held between like-minded people, you don't feel so alone and outcast. All present share the same addiction problem and can understand and support each other. Social contacts can be re-established and conversations can be held again.
