I would say number 1 would be causing some of the other problems.
As for whether overtraining is causing it, I can only suggest scaling back your training a bit and seeing if it helps.
Don't race every week, r even every fortnight. That would burn anyone out not only physically but also psychologically. Insomnia and lack of concentration could be due to overtraining. Maybe try cutting down to one session a day?
