Value resetting every "tick"

[RiokuTheSlayer]

Simple as the title says, I'm just making a little "emotion" emulator thing. No matter what I do, the values get reset every frame

	double happy, curious, angry, sad;

	public void changeEmotion(double Amount, String Emotion) {
		System.out.println("Chaning Emotion!");
		if (Emotion == "Sadness" && sad >= 100) {
			return;
		} else if (Emotion == "Happyness" && happy >= 100) {
			return;
		} else if (Emotion == "Angryness" && angry >= 100) {
			return;
		} else if (Emotion == "Curiousness" && curious >= 100) {
			return;
		}
		System.out.println("Chaning for real!");
		if (Emotion == "Sadness") {
			sad = sad + Amount;
			happy = happy - Amount;
		} else if (Emotion == "Happyness") {
			happy = happy + Amount;
			sad = sad - Amount;
		} else if (Emotion == "Angryness") {
			angry = angry + Amount;
			happy = happy - (Amount * 2);
		} else if (Emotion == "Curiousness") {
			sad = sad - (Amount / 2);
			happy = happy + (Amount / 2);
			angry = angry - Amount;
		} else {
			System.out.println("Not a valid emotion, check your code and try again!");
			System.exit(WHEN_FOCUSED);
		}

And yes, I realize it says "Chaning". It's an inside joke ^^

Any ideas? There's no other threads that even use these values so.

1. Learn to follow Java coding conventions. Variable names start with a lowercase letter. Code Conventions for the Java Programming Language: Contents

2. Never use == to compare Strings or other Objects (unless you really are checking for value identity). Use the /equals(..) method instead.

I wrote this up in like five minuets, just to see if it'd work. Apparently it's not, but I'd like to keep going with it.

So you expect help with code that is fundamentally flawed?
