I think it would be more accurate to say:

Wood = Anger/Decision making/Organisation
Fire = Joy/Lack of Joy
Earth = Sympathy/Lack of Sympathy
Metal = Grief/Respect
Water = Fear/Fearlessness/ Inappropriate Fear.

Traditionally this would be more correct. Anxiety doesn't really come from the Earth element it comes from Fire and Water, Earth is more likely to be overthinking and pensiveness.
How on earth you put Hate into Fire I'll never know because just doesn't fit at all and I don't waht text book would ever say that!
Courage and depression do not fit into Metal either as one of the most common causes of depression and moodiness can come mostly from Fire and Wood pathologies, so again where did you get that from??


For the organs you miseed out Pericardium and Triple Burner for the other two Fire organs.
