I'm not typically very emotionally reactive. I keep myself in check, with anger/annoyance as a common exception. So it's pretty easy to tell when my moods are as a result of a greater reason... If the mood is unprovoked, uncommon to me, or lasts much longer than it should.
Only we know how we'd normally respond to a situation. And then we gauge that against our atypical behaviour that signals to us that something isn't "quite right".
