This is a form of winner's tilt which is not uncommon for new players or inexperienced players. I have seen many players at the table that double or triple up their starting stack just to lose it all. The only thing you can do to try and prevent this from happening is taking a breather moment to think about what you are about to do.

When it is your turn to act preflop take a moment to ask yourself if you would play this hand if you were not winning in the session. If the answer is no then you need to tell yourself that you should fold.

When playing post flop and facing a big bet or in a tough spot with a mediocre hand, you should take a moment to think about what happened. Think about the action and ask yourself why is villain making this play? Then ask yourself, if I was not winning in the session would I fold this hand? If the answer to the first question are hands that you lose to and the answer to the second question is yes then you need to tell yourself to fold.

There is skill in poker to be a winner but another important attributes of a winner is discipline. The discipline to think through the situation and realize where they are in the hand.
