Dating with ADHD feat. Author Emily Farris

Girls Gotta Eat

We loved our conversation with Emily Farris, author of I’ll Just Be Five More Minutes, about being diagnosed with ADHD at 35 and how it has impacted her life, especially in relationships. She shares her story of feeling different growing up and what brought her to getting a diagnosis, how she manages it now, dating with ADHD, social anxiety and drinking, hyper fixation and time blindness (ahem, chronically late people), the issues that arose in her marriage, postpartum anxiety, and her decision to get divorced. We also chat about dating someone who is neurodivergent, and the types of people who are best equipped (and worst equipped) to enter into that relationship dynamic. Before Emily joins us, Rayna has been making men feel needed, and we share the whole story of finding Ashley’s wedding dress. Enjoy!
