Scheming! That emotion definitely belongs on the list. WRT Disappointment/Disheartened/Discouraged, which would you separate? (Or are all three distinct?)
There is a sense that some of these are… very self-inflicted. I suspect some people have a fine degree of control over that, and others have no control over the distress, or hesitation, they experience. (I don’t feel “Appreciated”, so I can’t comment on that example, but there are similar external emotions I do, such as annoyance, which is one I’m incapable of feeling towards myself, in pretty much exactly the same way I couldn’t tickle myself.)
Equanimity is… a bit broader than “cool and collected”, at least in my personal experience. Cool and collected is a good description for the outer-state of it—what is directly experienced in most situations. There’s an inner component to it, too—it’s… a capacity for dealing with emotions. It’s the capacity to remain cool and collected, whatever emotions are hurled at you. When my equanimity is low, I feel like I’m on the top of an immensely tall column that is swaying haphazardly, and will topple in the slightest emotional breeze. When my equanimity is high, there’s an inner stability, like a hurricane of emotion couldn’t budge it—I describe that state as “centered”.
Equanimity
I mainly didn’t have the word in my vocab. (the first google search gave “cool and collected”)
I would separate Disappointment from Discouraged. As distinctly things that don’t have to have each other there to happen. Disappointment also doesn’t have to be disheartening. Dishearten/Discourage are similar and could probably be left close by.
Looking good. Not sure how to use it; but if it stays up—I will think about it...
Disheartened ~= “soulcrushing”
Discouraged ~= I am running a race against my peers and I don’t seem to be able to keep up. After a month of training; they seem to be getting faster and I seem to not be keeping up at the same grade. “All this effort for nothing”
Disappointed ~= I was expecting chocolate spread on my sandwich but it was only jam. (slightly in the direction of “something I expected but did not quite estimate right”)

Done!
No idea what any of those three are supposed to feel like. I imagine the inverse of relief?
