Q: Co-Dependency or lack of self esteem ?

Hi there,
I think i'm either co-dependent or suffer from low self esteem but i can't work out which.

Last year - i was almost obsessed about this one girl - she was practically my life - if we got on i was happy.. if we fell out i was sad. She usually said i was very insecure... obsessive.... i just wanted to be in a relationship with her whatever the cost!

I was kind of abit controlling too - if i know she needed me for something, i would get whatever i could out of her in return.

I was depressed and suffered very bad anxiety. At the same time all of my other relationships suffered - i don't know. People didn't seem to be very interested in me at all - conversations would be all ME putting in the effort - i had a craving to be popular and liked by everyone.

I look forward to your reply Esteem or Co-Dependence?

Many thanks for your time.
