When I think of the acronym H.A.L.T. (Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired), I realize those letters can encompass a wide array of other emotions and labels too. Here are just a few:

H—hurt, halfhearted, haphazard, hopeless, hardship, harebrained, hasbeen, headstrong, heavy-hearted, hesitant, hopeless, hostile, hurried, hyper, helpless
A—alone, abandoned, abnormal, absentminded, afflicted, annoyed, afraid, amiss, anxious, apathetic, awkward, awful
L—loser, lost, lousy, lovelorn, loner, lonesome, loco, livid, loony
T—tense, terrified, touchy, tragic, traumatized, troubled

What are your H.A.L.T. feelings?
