Dear Jeff,
From the information that is provided, it seems that your occupational functioning is being affected by your inability to concentrate. This can occur with mood disorders ( depression, bipolar disorder), ADD (attention deficit disorder) , drug abuse and several others. Personality disorders play a significant role in interpersonal relationships. It would be helpful to consider evaluation by a trained Mental Health Professional to rule out any psychiatric conditions. I wish you Good Luck.
Sincerely
HFHS-M.D.
