Why does this always happen to me?

I'm not talking about leaks, I'm talking about being chip leader, flopping a straight and having a guy fill up on me on the river, then the very next hand I pick up QQ and run into AA. (obviously the guy who has me covered)

"I pick up QQ and run into AA" and "the next 4 hands will be guaranteed loses for me" are contradictions. You're so overwhelmed by losing that you assume you HAVE to play QQ (or whatever). What you just did right there is blind yourself from your opponent's range and just assumed the worst, BUT I have to play anyways.

Make each decision anew and dissociate yourself from results as much as possible. Next time you're in that spot, rather than whine to yourself about being unlucky, try to think about your opponents play and a range, or how they may have played differently. That'll help you a lot bud.

And as for getting unlucky, brush it off, there's always another hand and you can't get unlucky forever, that I promise you.
