"Depression for depression's sake" as in they didn't present that storyline to serve the character; they did it for the sake of angst. Bloated, unadulterated angst. This was truly a season where Joss should have been at the helm. Unfortunately, he wasn't.

And Buffy never expressed having a fear of not going back, of not being worthy or of being turned. Her gripe was with existing on the human plane and having to deal with regular life stuff. You can surmise all day, but that's what canon gave us.

Firstly, she was the Slayer, so "regular life stuff" doesn't even mean the same thing other people experience. I think the depression is pretty justified. You live one life, and if you get it right, you go to Heaven. Being pulled out means now you have to do it all over again, which means you literally got cheated out of your previous reward. As if all that you went through meant nothing. That's shitty. The character didn't have to outright say it for us to be able to think, "Man, I wouldn't like to go through that crap again. Who knows if I'll get it right this time?"

That's your opinion, and that's cool. Frankly, compared to her two contemporaries (Kendra and Faith), Buffy had a great life. A childhood for starters, with a mom who loved her and sans abuse.

But we can agree to disagree.
