BB I know how you feel.
For all the years of looking after my mother in the same position. A lot of time spent at home when I wanted to be elsewhere. A lot of QUIET time to run all these scenarios in your head of "this that and the other".
It drives/drove me bonkers too. My mind never stops ticking over.
First off theres going to be a wonderful life waiting for you at the end of all this, you will be repaid for all the love you are putting into your family. A husband and children and all that brings.
Now this might help with the right now. Because you and I are soo alike :p I found and use a homeopathic product, or a couple actually called "white chestnut" and "rescue remedy" - you probably know of them already. White Chestnut quiets the mind & slows down the constant brain chatter and Rescue Remedy is just amazing. Calms you down. All very mild and wont interfere with anything you take.
Next I try to keep busy. When i'm having those days I just try to keep busy, go for walks, re arrange stuff. You get the drift and when I start to think negative I divert my thoughts to other things or say in my head "shut up ella lol "
