Internet Addiction

For many of you I know that the first thing who came to your heads when you read the title was something like:
>Haha what the fuck, just turn the PC off bro, just walk away dude
But I guarantee you that this is not possible for me. I'm experiencing addiction in the same way a drug addict experiences. I just can't turn it off. This has been going on for years, the very first thing I do in the morning is turn the PC on and I stay there looking at its screen for more than 16 hours straight, this is not a joke. I don't know what to do anymore. This ruined my education, my relationships, my confidence. Right now I feel like a disabled. I'm literally uncapable of doing anything other than spend entire days in front of a PC. Worst of all is that I need the PC for my classes so I can't just not turn it on and even if I could I wouldn't be able to because I'm completely addicted, it happens involuntarily. I'm completely lost right now, I have no idea what to do anymore. Time is running by and if I keep this routine I'll fail the semester. Is there medication that could help me? Should I seek a therapist (would they even take me serious if I told them I'm literally addicted to the internet)? I need help or my life will be completely ruined without repair.
