I don't think God is angry... He hurts when you hurt because he loves you and doesn't want this for you. That's why Jesus came. And being a Christian doesn't mean you can't struggle with mental illness. There are many examples of depression in the Bible, and Elijah was suicidal. God wasn't angry with him for wanting to die but instead met him with other ways to cope, allowing him to rest and eat because God could see it was all too much for Elijah. I know that's a little different than self harm, but I think it still applies.
If you go to church or youth group, it might be worth pulling your pastor or youth leader aside to talk about worrying that God is angry with you (you don't have to mention the self harm to talk about it, but you could if you wanted). It just sounds like there are deeper issues going on here that are beyond video games- might have been a trigger, but wasn't the cause.
