I looked it up in a dictionary
岂 (qi3) in 我这岂不是自己找麻烦吗 is used before a negative word to form a retorical question, ususaly in written form, so the translation would be:
“How can I not blame my self to look for problems”
Hope I am right.
让我先回答，本霓，我尊敬汉语老师
万事如意

陆蓝克 Perfect answer. Roland.
This is also a word of “emphsization”. And it can’t be translated into English
