Well first I'd like to say (if I'm allowed to say) Welcome to LGM MrCarmel!!!

This is kinda strange that you would ask something like this but I think I can help. For most of these expressions you'll have similiar chords depending on if they are major, minor, diminished, 7th, 9th, 13th, 11th, Augmented, suspended, etc. I also may put a little progression in at some points and I'll indicate which expressions I'm focusing on.

Key of C
L.H./ R.H.

Depression/Sadness/Loneliness/Sorrow:
AE / ACE
DA / DFAB
EB / EGB
BF / BDFB
{For these chords you could pretty much try to use them in a progression that sounds good to you. (Try to add feeling into your playing with these chords and the others I post because most of the expressions are not by what chord you play but how dynamic (hard and soft playing) you are with the Keyboard, Organ, or Piano. Also for all the chords I post here you should try to put them in your own style and improvise a lot.}

FEAR/FRANTIC/PHOBIA/RAGE:
HIT ALL THESE CHORDS WITH POWER!!!
A / CFB
C / CEbGbAC-------Cdim7
A-E-A / CEFA-------FMaj7
B-F-B / CDbGb

LOVE/HAPPINESS/GLADNESS/JOY/PEACE/CALMNESS/THRILL

C-G-C / EGAC
C / DEGC
G / GABD
F / GACE
D-A-D / EGC
C-F-G-C / FGC
G-D-G / BDEG
C / GBbCE
B / ADF
E / BbCDG
G-D-G / FGBbD
F / FACE
E / EGBD
D / DFAC
C / CEGB
F / ACEG
D / FACE
C / DEGBD.........now I could go on and on but I'll be just inverting chords and changing bass notes so the best thing I can tell you is to use each and every chord in your style. . . . .with feeling though. . . .and you don't have to play the chords in the order I have ( I just put them up as I thought of them; they're not in any specific order). . . . .I hope this helps and God Bless you.

The Pianist but to God be the Glory!!!!!!!

Here are some guidelines that may help you:

1.  For all the emotions related to happiness, use lots of major type/sounding chords, avoid using too many diminished chords if possible

2.  For all the emotions related to sadness, use lots of minor type/sounding chords, secondary dominants are also good chords to use here

3.  For all the emotions related to anger, use lots of diminished type/sounding chords, dominant chords work good here too (especially 9th's and 13th's),  have sudden dynamic changes (very loud, to very soft, then loud again, etc.)
