Why did Buffy go "bad"?

I've thought more about this (Especially considering that I'm writing a fanfic that deals with the aftermath of S1.), and here are my thoughts.

After Buffy defeated the Master, the realization that she had died sunk in. This caused her to basically go through what is generally called "Post-Traumatic Stress". In order to deal with the fact that she had died, she started repressing emotions, acting differently, etc. She was trying to forget that she had died, and she couldn't do it.
 
I just think Buffy was having a few issues with being dead and then being brought back to life, I mean how would you feel if you died and then you were brought back to life? But I must admit she was a bit of a bitch in that episode, but I loved it! Haha
 
Originally, I just thought it was because the praeternatural 'darkness' of the Master mingled with Buffy's essence (?) when she was bitten in the sewers in "Prophesy Girl", somewhat like an infection.
