What signals you that you will play badly?

Some days I can't play decently for the life of me, but I feel ok.  I am not aware of any mental or physical condition that would put me on a losing streak, so I keep playing and blundering, thinking it will turn around.   Does this happen to you?  Did it ever?  How did you get over it, and what tips you off to step away from the board?

When otb, it's whenever we don't use clocks and do notation that I play worse.

When I'm not in a good mood, etc, my game suffers horribly. Trying to get more control over that...
