Try what I mentioned in my earlier post and see if things change. Get on the instruments a few hundred feet before the clouds and be relaxed, comfortable, and with the aircraft under good control when you enter the clouds. Stay like this only till you feel comfortable to look away and fly as normal.
You might be surprised how subconsciously we look up at things like going into a cloud simply for the fact that it is in our nature to not enjoy confinement which entry into clouds gives you this feeling. So consciously thinking about and doing this might help you out, not sure though but it certainly can't hurt. Good luck.
