My SO has the exact same problem. And I really do not know what to do about it somedays.
All that helps is if I hold her, and basically tell her I love her, because because of this she gets VERY depressed. Painting and playing the piano seems to help her as well.
It does not happen so regularly fortunately, maybe once every two months, but it was more often last year, to the point of once a week atleast.
She also gets very lucid dreams when she gets like this, dreams where in she is killed/scared etc. Its very hard waking her up when this happens.
I am just glad that has now been almost 3 months since the last time. Hopefully it has stopped. If not, I don't know how to make it go away, but I will support her anyway.
