Description
Novocaine Brain And The Accidental Kardashian Vibe | Episode 483
A cracked filling doesn’t sound like a big story until you’ve lived through the years that lead up to it. I’m Justin, and I’m talking candidly about what happens when mental health and major depression knock out your routines, including brushing, dental cleanings, and basic maintenance. When I finally got back into the dentist chair after that “mental health valley,” the bill wasn’t just money, it was reality: fillings, crowns, and the slow work of rebuilding what I’d let slide.
I also walk you through what today’s appointment feels like in real time: the numbing agent, the vibration of the drill, the hardest part of keeping your mouth open, and the not-so-fun hours waiting for the numbness to wear off. If you deal with sensory sensitivity, including experiences that can show up on the autism spectrum, we talk about why hot and cold sensitivity and everyday stimuli can hit harder than people realize.
Then we zoom out to the rest of life, because it all stacks together: mental health swings, tax-day stress, the comfort of coming home to my tiny pup Lucy, and how much energy I burn worrying before I do the thing. I share why podcast analytics and rising downloads feel like quiet validation, plus a few thoughts on haircuts, aging, back pain mornings, and learning to keep a secret when exciting stuff is brewing.
If any of this sounds like your life, hit subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find these honest conversations about mental health, self-care, and getting through the next hard task.
