How long have you been trying? I seem to recall that when I was learning self hypnosis (primarily from a book my parents had), it took me a while to figure out how to stop all the racing thoughts and stuff in my brain. (I had/have anxiety disorders, and maybe some other stuff [I think I may be bipolar, but haven't been diagnosed.])
If you have been working at it for some time, you might want to try different inductions. (There are some hypnotists on here that other people swear by, but whose files just plain don't work for me.) There seems to be a great deal of variety with regard to how peoples' minds work.
Those are just a couple thoughts I had. Your mileage may vary, and there are a lot of folks on here more knowledgeable than me.
Good luck.
