I watched this video for the first time yesterday, when I was still feeling extremely depressed and luteal, and wasn't expecting my period until Monday. But then today Day One came early. The part when she is drowning under water in the sink and then she comes up and takes a breath again finally but she's in the ocean, and everything is peaceful and she has the blood on her hands... SPOT ON.
