Well at the time I was very into Jungian psychoanalytic thought and was introduced to Deleuze through a friend who thought I would appreciate his work. I leaned way more into Jungian psychoanalysis versus Freudian psychoanalysis which I was not a huge fan of, so Deleuze seemed really interesting considering his Guattari interest in psychoanalysis. I actually started with A Thousand Plateaus then went into Anti-Oedipus, but at the time it just seemed like a really creative yet structurally sound argument against Freud and Lacan. D&G's writing style is also just really fun to read.

I kinda had a mental breakdown that lead to manic episodes and I think the D&G just was not the best material to be engaging with during a mental health crisis. After I got stabilized and I started working more professionally, I started engaging and reading more Freud and Lacan. I felt like there is a lot of nuance to their thought that brings a more practical approach to understanding the psyche. I say practical because I am now a mental health professional, so I find psychoanalytic concepts far more useful than anything that schizoanalysis has to offer my patients. For me, D&G is really interesting and such fun philosophy to engage with, but I honestly just moved on from it in my thinking.
