🔥 Add Emoji-Based Mood Selector with Gemini Integration (#18)

[aila-reddemma-ydv]

What’s New
✅ Implemented an intuitive "emoji-based mood selector" in 'sidebar.py'
✅ Dynamically updates journaling prompt based on selected mood
✅ Integrated selected mood context with Gemini API response generation
✅ Removed unused imports (GLOBAL_RESOURCES, create_new_conversation) to prevent ImportErrors
✅ Ensured mood persistence via st.session_state

🔍 How It Works

1. User selects mood (😊 😢 😡 etc.) from emoji radio.
2. Corresponding mood label is stored in st.session_state["current_mood_val"]
3. Custom journaling prompts are shown based on mood.
4. "Ask TalkHeal" passes mood + input to Gemini for a tailored response.
5. Tip and response displayed to user.

✅ Testing Done

• App loads without errors
• Mood selection updates correctly
• Gemini returns response with mood context
• Journal input + mood persists in session

Hey @aila-reddemma-ydv, could you explain a bit what changes your PR has brought about in the app? Cause the deployment https://talkheal-qxzcvml6ab6todxqtvvttp.streamlit.app/ and the original deployment of the app https://talkheal.streamlit.app/ seem pretty identical... Are you also sure that you deployed your modified PR and not the unchanged main? Please attach some relevant screenshots too to visualise the modifications better. Thanks!

[aila-reddemma-ydv]

Hi @eccentriccoder01 , I truly appreciate your feedback!

I just want to say that I tried my best to implement the changes thoughtfully. While the app’s appearance may look quite similar at first glance, I’ve made functional improvements like the emoji-based mood selector and mood-aware journaling integration with the Gemini API.

I’ve also attached a screenshot (📸 above) showing the emoji mood selector in action.
Thanks again!

Hi @aila-reddemma-ydv !
I see you're showing the emoji mood selector. But this feature was already there. Did you make any adjustments?
I would like to see the ' mood-aware journaling integration' in action. Can you provide some screenshots or video for the same?

[eccentriccoder01]

@aila-reddemma-ydv please don't mind but also if the changes are purely internal and not UI-based, please explain what new enhancements you've brought about.

[aila-reddemma-ydv]

Hi @TalkHeal-Team 👋,

I made some corrections to the previous PR and am submitting a fresh one with the finalized implementation.

✅ Updates Included:
Fixed issues in the earlier push related to incorrect mood context handling.

Fully integrated emoji-based mood selector with mood-aware journaling prompts.

AI responses now dynamically reflect the selected emotional tone using Gemini API.

Resolved merge conflicts and ensured clean codebase.
