I over-ruminate if I do not have much to do, so am very open with the people I work with and make a point of being busy and multi-tasking. I think it may be a good idea to let your work know that this is how you prefer to work. I know that in the past when I have mentioned depression etc they have suggested reducing my task-load, but I had to explain to them that for me that is counter-productive. Everyone is different, but some places may think it is easier for you to have less to do, and it may be that all you need to do is tell them (just be aware it will lead to being given more work to do).
Beth's idea of breaking the event down into smaller goals is good, and one I use sometimes.
Be gentle with yourself.
