The sector was impacted with weather to the west which caused other sectors to allow numerous aircraft to deviate into our airspace. These aircraft are all opposite direction and climbing with our descending landing traffic. This significantly increased our workload. We also had weather on the east side of our airspace which prevented us from moving our traffic away from theirs. Sometime in the middle of our session they started handing aircraft off to us which we would then (when clear of the weather) reroute back into their airspace. Over the course of our session we were violated numerous times by the adjacent Center sectors and by our Center sectors. We in turn violated another sector at least twice. Both times involved us handing off aircraft to them that they did not or refused to take in a timely fashion. Additional complications involved the active military airspace which restricted our ability to move aircraft east and away from the weather.If weather closes off the northbound aircraft route instead of allowing them to deviate into our southbound traffic; either reroute them west or stop the southbound traffic. If the military had released airspace to us we could have also prevented the situation from getting out of hand. Another solution would be to shut off the northbound aircraft so they don't endanger the southbound landers. Reroute the northbound aircraft instead of sending them right into the southbound traffic. Any of those would have worked. Perhaps Traffic Management Unit could get involved next time and assist with the situation.
A Center Controller reported numerous airspace violations between sectors working aircraft abeam active Restricted/Warning Area airspace during a period of weather deviations.
