ABSTRACT
The objective of the present work is to ponder about the subject in times of the Global Pandemic. Time that are filled with shadow, disease, grief, and death, caused by fear of getting sick with SARSCoV- 2. A time where the real about suffering unveils in the gaze of the subject set to infinity; in the silence aroused by anguish, in the fear of existence and/or death. How can anyone live in fear before the unknown that attacks and kills? The perception of one’s own death has resulted traumatic for the subject sick with COVID-19. The ego flooded by “the real”, provokes a primitive state of helplessness, a lack of will, a coarctation and weakening on the capacity of taking decisions. It’s a subject in a state of annihilation and and/or moral impoverishment. There’s one narcissistic wound where the pulse turns against the subject and causes a depressive affection by itself, it’s to feel that it loses its phallic value. Flooded by the anguish of helplessness, he feels vulnerable and paralyzed. He has been invaded by an attack to the unconscious narcissistic delusion of immortality and of his loved ones, putting himself in a grief position of unique characteristics, given that “the loss object will be thyself”.REFERENCES
