Uhm, no. It’s not post traumatic stress. You’re probably already depressed/anxious to begin with and then started using video games to escape these feelings. What should you do? Stop playing the games so much and start working on yourself and ugh, acne is not caused by post traumatic stress or video game addiction.

No. PTSD is when somebody has recurrent nightmares/hallucinations about a traumatic event such as being raped, seeing people killed, etc. Nothing you describe sounds like PTSD.
I doubt if the video game addiction is causing all these problems. It seems more likely that someone could be depressed and became addicted to games as a result of the depression.
See a doctor.
