My boss just dropped a whole binder of new responsibilities on me and has asked that I consent to them without any promise of a raise.

I (m28) am an assistant manager at a multinational retail chain. This is sort of a follow up from my other post so see that for additional context if you so desire. I was just given an entire binder worth of information and new responsibilities for my job and my bosses have no intention of paying me extra for this. I suspect she's trying to push me out or is truly delusional in thinking that this is okay. She spends most of her days in the back office manually inputting numbers into excel spreadsheets (I suspect this could be easily automated???) while I run the floor, employees, processing shipment, customer service including but not limited to entitled idiots on the daily, payroll, opening/closing the store, other back of house responsibilities, etc. She gets to avoid all of that for the most part and, in my opinion, these are pretty critical…

I've been with this company for a long time and am on the autism and ADHD spectrum and have difficulties with change and am uncertain about how to approach things moving forward. I don't want to leave the company, but I don't want to deal with all of this additional work for free. It feels like I'm being pushed out or taken advantage of. I am feeling exceedingly depressed about the whole situation especially considering I once felt as though my boss was my friend.

Icing on the cake is that at the back of the binder she left information for our employee support/therapy program and told me that she was here if I needed help (she knows I've had issues with depression for as long as I've known her). Binder was about 50 pages but I just included a few.
