But in terms of what make sense to be traumatized over...Angel's makes more sense. And hell dimension that turned him into a non-speaking, feral being? I'd say that's way worse than the world he was in as opposed to "slightly less terrible." Angel, for all intents and purposes, should have had some extreme version of PTSD, and not be able to leave his house. But that's not what happened. He ran around half naked for a few weeks, then got better. And he didn't beat up any innocent parties in the process. But I know how the Buffy fandom works--Angel isn't shit. The commenter before yours...I mean, yikes.

And seriously, Buffy knew she had a short shelf life, not just as a human, but as a slayer. It's not like she wasn't ever going to get to go back.

Because it's all a matter of perspective. Angel's trauma could be overcome because from the point it was over, he had nowhere to go but up compared to his previous situation. From where Buffy was standing, it seemed that she was in a downward spiral. You say she was aware of her short shelf life, maybe that was why it seemed she couldn't wait to go back to being dead. Why is it hard to see why it's easier to have hope in one situation and not the other?

Because in theory, he should have been broken beyond repair. But he persevered, and leagues faster than Buffy did (and he didn't need the threat of the end of the world for it to happen).

My point about the shelf life thing--my point was that what the hell was she moping for if it was more than likely going to be over soon anyway? If she had come back, and all, or let's say several slayers had been activated, two of which lived on the Hellmouth, and she had no purpose, all of her health, and would appear to live for decades unless she was in some kind of freak accident, then I could see being depressed at the prospect of a lengthy, shitty existence. As it stands, I thought it was ridiculous.

Well, I have no idea why a situation where all you have to look forward to is a short, miserable existence full of the kind of soul-crushing struggle you were already sick literally to death of, in which you kind of resent all your loved ones but at the same time are constantly aware that you have a responsibility to them, at the end of which you would most likely die a violent death, would lead someone to crippling depression. Especially when this situation is replacing a state of perfect sublime bliss. Why would that happen?

No, she only had a responsibility to Dawn. And it wasn't crippling depression--just enough to make her look like a victim. Well sorry Charlie--I ain't buying.
