#minipress

[samsi6]

Eine Stadt, die Mainzelmännchen als Ampelmännchen einsetzt, kann nicht von grundauf schlecht sein; oder sie ist es gerade deswegen. Aber das ist irrelevant. Ich war heute in dieser Stadt. Ich schreibe hier über Mainz. Da war die minipress-Messe. Sie wird auch noch am Sonntag da sein. Es stellen dort eher kleinere Buchverlage aus. Marco Kerler machte mich durch die insta Notizfunktion darauf aufmerksam und ich bin ihm dafür sehr dankbar. Abomniert hatte ich ihn, weil er dieses eine phantastisch gearbeitete Bianca Körner Büchlein gefertigt hatte. Heute traf ich ihn bei einer Crauss Lesung. Das war toll. Ich mag manches daran, wenn virtual life real wird.

Die Messe ist absolut empfehlenswert. Lauter kleine Verlage mit vollkommen unterschiedlichen Ausrichtungen stellen aus. Es gab Zines, es gab viel Lyrik, es gab Romane, Fantasy, es gab Menschen, die Bücher von der Faser für das Papier bis zum Inhalt, handgeschöpft, handgeschrieben, handgemalt durchkomponiert und in einer Auflage von 4 (!) in immer leicht unterschiedlicher Ausführung (!!) herausgebracht haben - kurz: der Besuch der Ausstellung war im besten Sinne bewusstseinserweiternd. Vielen Dank Marco Kerler , dass ich davon erfuhr und wir uns sahen!

Habe ich erwähnt, dass ich hin und zurück alles in allem 70 km Fahrrad fuhr? Nicht pro Stunde, sondern insgesamt 4 Stunden hin und zurück...

Ein extra shout-out für die tolle Beratung beim Maro Verlag 🙏

A city that uses Mainzelmännchen as traffic light figures cannot be bad from the ground up; or because of that she is. But that's irrelevant. I was in this city today. I'm writing about Mainz here. There was the minipress fair. She will also be there on Sunday. Smaller book publishers tend to exhibit there. Marco Kerler drew my attention to this through the insta note function and I am very grateful to him for that. I had subscribed to him because he had made this one fantastically crafted Bianca Körner booklet. Today I met him at a Crauss reading. That was great. I like some things when virtual life becomes real.

The fair is highly recommended. Nothing but small publishers with completely different orientations are exhibiting. There were zines, there was a lot of poetry, there were novels, phantasy, there were people who composed books from the fiber for the paper to the content, hand-made, hand-written, hand-painted and in an edition of 4 (!) in always slightly different version (!!) - in short: the visit to the exhibition was mind-expanding in the best sense of the word. Thank you Marco Kerler for letting me know about it and for seeing you!

Did I mention that I cycled a total of 70 km round trip? Not per hour, but a total of 4 hours there and back...

An extra shout-out for the great advice at Maro Verlag 🙏

started minipress/prazosin for nightmares... if anyone else has experience with it, have they helped?

#im hoping they do but im scared of the blood pressure aspect bc idk how to stand slowly im always on a mission when i get up #prazosin #minipress

[abandonedaccountnow]

If you have DID and need antipsychotics consider talking about meds that help schizoaffective. They seem to reduce anger more than hallucinations in me.

Minipress is good for coping with or getting rid of nightmares, especially if you're the type who grinds your teeth into dust at night.

I feel like I was always meant to be a Horror person, and for most of my life I'd say I'd be in like the kiddie pool of it like enjoying things that weren't too intense, but the thing that really stopped me was seriously just mental illness, like I could NOT handle jumpscares of any kind without genuine distress like often triggering full on anxiety/panic attacks, disturbing imagery would contribute to psychotic episodes (fun fact my actual diagnosis explaining that kind of thing is "depression with psychotic features" which in the last few years was finally given), I was extremely squeamish of blood and gore for similar reasons of triggering bad mental spirals, and like overall anything could contribute to symptoms like paranoia, hypervigilance, anxiety, nightmares, hyper empathy responses, etc

But I was always drawn to it, I WANTED to like it so badly, but I COULDN'T because of mental health. It wasn't until I was prescribed anti anxiety and SSRI's I would stop having such intense unhealthy reactions. My first time going through a haunted house SINCE CHILDHOOD!! was iirc 2020, I had taken minipress in preparation (didn't stay on it long because it dropped my heart rate too much but it worked great for managing like, adrenaline spikes induced by jumpscares and keep me from going over the line into panic hahaha)

I had started playing more horror games in around .. 2017? But would carefully curate as to avoid once that could harm my mental health. And from there I kinda did the same thing with movies.

For whatever reason, ultimately zoloft helped the most with that (maybe because it brought my baseline anxiety down?) And around that same time I started dating my partner @shijuruiburning who is a huge gigantic horror fan and I admired them so much, and wanted to be more like the person they are (more than just the horror stuff too!)

I feel more comfortable than I've ever been about my Genre so to speak, what I surround myself with, and (just like the kiddie pool but now in the big boy pool) engaging with horror helps me cope with my cptsd and all sorts of things! It was literally just a matter of getting past the reactions I couldn't control to finally interact with themes and visuals I KNEW I wanted to and I KNEW would speak to me.

Some of my own personal work and projects have horror elements to them, it's always inspired me, and now I just feel.. really happy about it all.

The fact my first haunted house walk through as an adult was in 2020 and by 2022 I was WORKING at one.

I have mental health practitioners to thank as well as my partner for nurturing and being patient with the person i wanted to be. I just feel.. less confused about my identity if that makes sense. Less ashamed. More doors opening for my artistic expression.

Anyway just something I was thinking about! Feeling okay about myself for a fleeting moment before my traumatized brain decides its too foreign to feel okay and I have to beat myself up more ;;;;

Tw for mentions of sa and rape

How do you deal with nightmares around your trauma? Usually I didn't have many nightmares about my trauma or my abuser who caused it but lately I've been having them almost every night and it's kinda horrifying, it's stuff where it's like normal but I'm always on edge around him and he's threatened me saying he could rape me and other things I forget most of it after waking up but its still bad enough and then I'm always tired no matter how much I sleep and I don't want to sleep

Hi anon,

First of all please know you're not alone. This is something I've been struggling with for a long time. There are a lot of different potential reasons why you may be dealing with this.

Personally one of my problems was that I found these dreams highly important or significant to me. Every time my abuser popped up, I had to write it down and document it when I woke up. It created a vicious cycle where giving it that much space only enabled it to take up more space.

So when I stopped recording dreams with my abuser in it (only just recently) it completely shifted my dreams. My abuser would still pop up now and then but we would just coexist and it would overall be a good dream. It's not easy at all but I think it's about being able to reclaim power over your sleep and dreams, and realize that, in your mind, you can get to say how little he can hurt you.

If you have a psychiatrist, you may want to speak with them about beta blockers. I was prescribed beta blockers (Minipress) for PTSD nightmares, and while they didn't help me, everyone is different. Beta blockers essentially lower your blood pressure that may be spiking before or during sleep, which could be exacerbating the distressing contents of your dreams.

A lot of times we can't choose whether or not we dream about our abuser. But it could help to try and intentionally think about pleasant things as you drift off. My strategy is to just focus on world-building. So let's say I want to imagine going on vacation to a place I've always wanted to visit. I'd imagine looking online for hotels, finding ones with different kinds of hot tubs, maybe a water park, a high class hotel room, maybe imagine the cool food, drinks, amenities, and maybe some things to do in the area.

Go as specific as possible, like imagine they have your favorite food prepared exactly how you like it and imagine the person serving it to you and the super fancy restaurant you're in, and such. Try to ground yourself in this world by imagining the different things you can see, smell, hear, taste, etc, and soon you'll be asleep and hopefully immersing yourself in this world.

I think ultimately it's just about your point in recovery. I've been recovering for almost 8 years and still have work to do but I consider myself mostly healed so this might be something for a later stage. It makes sense if you still feel deeply traumatized by your abuser. While the symptoms can definitely be distressing, there is no rush to heal. At the same time, it's important to address this because for some survivors this can progress into somniphobia (fear of sleep), which can take a huge toll on your health. This article explains this further.

You deserve a restful sleep. Your abuser doesn't deserve to live rent free in your dreams.

If anyone else has any suggestions or comments, feel free to add on. Otherwise, I hope I could help, and please let us know if you need anything.

-Bun

I had a House of Leaves Style dream last night

I didn't even read before bed and still this lives rent free in my brain. It wasn't a nightmare, though, thanks to my good 'ol minipress lol. and it was white, not black. I was just chilling on the neverending staircase and then I did yoga in one of the rooms. It was nice. Lol.

Minipress Moment

Drop my pressure, Make my dreams fresher,

The moment tones down the art, And I reminice on Descartes:

"the dreams we imagine when we are asleep should not in any way make us doubt the truth of the thoughts we have when we are awake"

Make me spin, And stop the nightmares from coming in,

Make me weak, And the world a little less bleak.

We Are The Minison Project

We’ve decided to bite the bullet and join the gremlins here on tumblr!

Who are we? Hmm, yeah… guess we should have started with that.

The Minison Project is technically an independent literary organization, but you’ll see us refer to ourselves as a literary magazine! Founded in 2020 by Melissa Ashley Hernandez, our small indie team runs a few projects throughout the year:

> the minison zine — a zine originally based on the “minison” poetry form (a form created by Tom Snarsky and Jo Ianni.) Now we include all different variations of the form, including sonnets!

> TMP Magazine — A classic literary magazine dedicated to publishing all kinds of work from literary pieces to visual art (yes, that includes comics!)

> Blog — Our blog where we post articles, interviews, movie/song/book reviews, editorials, etc. We accept article and interview queries on our submissions page.

> MiniPress — A publishing press under The Minison Project umbrella that (at this point in time) publishes print anthologies.

We’ll use tumblr as a sort of mood board, as well as posting important submissions info on here, but if you want more information about us, check out our website!

Or give us a follow on Twitter, Instagram, and/or Facebook!
