You've had a lot on your mind with everything that's gone on with you, your family, job, and T. I don't wonder why your ability to concentrate has gone out the window. I would guess that when you have so many worries and things to think about it's natural that the thinking becomes a little more muddled. I hope it comes back once things are more settled, and you don't have all the worries that you have right now.
The only other thing that really helps me is exercise, and I know that might be the last thing you want to contend with right now. For me, walking at a rate of 4 - 4.5 mph for at least 30 mins. a day is the only thing, other than adderall, that keeps my thinking as clear as it's going to be. Not to mention the need for adequate sleep, which I'm not sure is easy to come by when your mind is on so much. (My diet stinks, so I won't even go there.)
I hope you find some things that helps.
