Is my overthinking during meditation because my imagination runs wild?

I cannot follow a guided meditation because my imagination runs wildly and excessively, creating endless, highly dramatic scenarios. I get completely pulled away from the guide. Is this tendency for the imagination to run wildly the core reason why guided visualizations backfire and feed my anxiety instead of calming it? I feel like the chaos in my mind is tied directly to this excessive mental energy. Name: Karan. DOB: 11th January 1989. Time: 9:50 PM. Location: Gurgaon.
