I hope the adderall gives you the mental breathing room you need. And I hope that things start going better for your mom. I truly do, because what a scary and frustrating thing to watch.
I feel the same way about no touching/no hugging. I get it, I get the autonomy thing, but ... to have so little touch. Yes, a cuddle pile would be good right now.
I'm glad your therapist is helping you accept that, sometimes, overwhelmed is a perfectly natural response to everything -- everything! -- that's happening.
