Not only could you be ingraining bad technique (as Kuma pointed out), but you could be doing yourself some permanent damage, hyper extension is a good example of bad technique that will lead to permanent tendon and ligament damage.

I would practice super-slow and go back to the begining.... especially if you cannot find or afford a teacher. Where there is a will, there is a way!
Good luck!

Good kicks come from good technique and balance. They are the most difficult moves mechanically and martial artist does. All of the issues you're having seem to me to be related to mechanics. Without seeing you kick it would it's impossible to be specific. For example, The work spin in spinning back kick through a lot of people off. There in no spin in the path of the foot. it actually moves in a strait line from chamber to target. Think of it like a piston and drive shaft. The drive shaft rotates (spins) but the piston move in a strait line inside the cylinder. So as you can see the mechanics can get a bit crazy. As everyone else has said, you really need an instructor to help you work through that.

Relaxation is also a key. I suspect that may be and issue as well.
