[quote=BNLsMOM;1449505]my thoughts are reelinga bout all the things that I need to do and all the responsibilities I have taken on that if I drop the ball put me and my family in a bad place again.

have faith in yourself, you are capable of handling those things, have a note book to "empty your head" of all the things you need to remember before sleep or when you get anxious...
with the thoughts, it is really distressing and unpleasent to live with, I'm not sure what will work for you, but for me, shouting STOP at them when they get frantic often helps. When I am more calm, thinking about why I am not going to do that etc helps me to not be as upset by them.
What makes them stop? maybe meds, maybe mood swings, maybe understanding where they are coming from and dealing with it.... I don't know...
Meds didn't stop it for me, they were always there in every depression but ok most of the rest of the time... Really for me it was changing how I think about things...
