Thank you, these are things I developed to manage my emotions and it's the first time to put them in words, I tried my best to serialize it.
The cool thing is, if you do this enough, you can always recognize the stimuli.
There's one exception, hormonal imbalance (bipolar, seasonal depression, etc.), because there is no stimuli.
But once you realize there is no external stimuli, you know it's hormonal. It is then classified as a irrational reaction. The difference of an internal irrational reaction is it takes more investigation and sometimes a few emotional knee-jerk reactions slip through before the hormonal cause is detected.
Also the irrational brain can misattribute the imbalance and attribute it to an external stimuli, but you can immediately correct it with evaluation and communication if the misattributed stimuli is a person. (ask for clarification, if it's not what you assumed, apologize after snapping and solve the conflict immediately).
My wife and I can tell when she's nearing her time of the month because it effects both of us. The hormone change unbalances us a week or so before sometimes causing fatigue or snippiness. It's nice to recognize it as to not contribute it the fatigue to burnout or take the snapping to heart.
We just overcompensate in communication and directly ask what the other person meant to not take something the wrong way once we recognize we're in this temporary state.
