Accessible Emotion Chart

I created the emotion chart below to be accessible for anyone using a screen reader. There are 7 tables below representing 7 primary emotions. Find the table with the heading that best describes how you are feeling, then read across or down to identify more specific secondary and tertiary emotions.
