I think I'm depressed, please help I don't know what I should do!?

Here we go, thank you if you read it all!

I am a guy who just realized that I'm really really addicted to video games. I need help and some serious help. I have above alright grades in school, but if I do my homework or read to an exam or whatever, I just lose interest in that and start to watch YouTube videos, or start to play. I have friends, but they aren't real friends I realized. They are my friends at school, but otherwise they wouldn't give a single **** about if I would disappear from this world. With that being said, I have no friends and I live semi-far away from everyone else. I have one friend though, but it's a weird friendship. We were friends for 9 years, and now the only thing we do is to text, but we never do anything else.

I was chatting with this one guy I had known forever in real time chat. I hadn't ever chatted with him before like that, and I was shocked afterwards. It made me want to quit the game when I realized the Push-to-talk function didn't even work. And this feeling makes me depressed, and I want to quit the game. Is it weird if I say to him that I'm going to quit, since we just talked online? To be honest I didn't enjoy it at all.

TL;DR

I'm video game addicted, have no real friends especially since I live pretty far from everyone else. I talked real time chat to this one guy I've known forever online, and it was really shitty and the push-to-talk function didn't work either so it was even more horrible. How do I get friends? I look good irl

    i know what u r going through, i have been through this stage of life where all i did for a whole year was playing cod and bf4, even though i made a lot of friends through playstation we hung out allot with them but the issue was i never talked to my school friends that why i was boring until last year when i tried hanging out with them doing their activities (playing soccer, watching it and then disgusing the match with them...) and here i am its my last year of school there is allot of dust on my ps4 im no longer playing any video games, i still remember when i used to play 16 hours a day! basically do what your "friend" i mean the school friends do and trying talking to them more often that will help allot. (its pretty difficult if you dont have a good sense of humor).
