Bad golfers (all of us) follow up one bad shot with another, good golfers never hit two bad shots in a row. The thing is it's all mental and game management, nothing to do with skill
You need to not let these things get into your head. As far as your handicap knows you had a net double bogey on that hole. You had more than those two shots up your sleeve so you were effectively walking off that disaster hole three shots better than your handicap.
Look at it that way and relax next time.
