I'd be very grateful if some English speaker could have a look at my English sentences

I think the small but important word "de" was overlooked when correcting the English. :) It's not por qué but rather de qué:

I don't even know what I should distract myself from.
OR
I don't even know what I should be distracted from.

You're right. I prefer the latter.
