Looks like you've already taken some good steps to "fix" your problem just by posting on this forum.   Katie Dozier's advice is perfect but let me add a little to the pot.   Sometimes our only real hope for change comes after a poker crash.  You lose to variance, blow up, and then lose a lot more at higher stakes or by making bigger bets when you just "know" you're going to win.  You probably have to go through this more than once before you finally get the handle on your emotions.  Once you do you need to simply see things as they really are.   Variance in poker is beyond your control.  All you can do is learn to minimize it's effects.  You do that by making up some simple rules.  Things like 'Don't chase - fold' ,  'Don;t assume the other guy's big bet is a bluff because it usually isn't'.  Put your rules on sticky notes where you can see them when you play.  Keep a pad beside you and make a mark with your pen whenever you follow one of your rules.  Heck, just the two I mentioned will get deeper into tournaments more often than you have in the past.  Compare the number of marks with how well you did...I'll bet the more marks you have the better your results.  Good luck.
