I find that I can access certain thoughts or feelings depending on the emotional state I'm in.
& I don't want to put words in your mouth, but I think you are talking about empathy? Maybe? I try to be empathetic - which I don't think is an emotion, necessarily - but empathy can be difficult depending on way that I feel about a situation or depending how I feel in general.
But this is also, I think related to perspective. My perception of things expands or contracts with how I'm feeling.
