I was just wondering if one experiences Withdrawal symptoms when quitting gaming, such as depression or social anxiety?

Yes those can be normal. I don't know if social anxiety is a withdrawal symptom but maybe gaming was masking that you struggled with it. A few resources here to help you. Depression though definitely. I've attached a paper if you're interested.

I just happened to discover this page: http://www.addictionsandrecovery.org/post-acute-withdrawal.htm

it says Anxiety is one the symptoms one will feel when they are experiences post acute withdrawal.
I have made an appointment with my doctor, and hopefully I will be recommended therapy
