If the page you are on "looks fine," it is most likely (but not certainly) because its theme is overriding the SCP Wiki's default Sigma-10 theme. If you were to then navigate to a Sigma-10 page, such as the Front Page, it would likely appear broken.
Alternatively, if you know for sure that Sigma-10 is loading, the error is most likely mistakenly appearing because you switched the Sigma-10 theme to a different theme using the ThemePreviewer module or another similar feature. If this is the case, and you are the author of the page, add the following code to it to remove the warning:
[[module css]]
#top-bar .ios-cache-issue-notification {
display: none !important;
}
[[/module]]

thanks to people who encouraged me to post this. not sure if it will do well on this site due to the topic, structure and content but I needed to say it and maybe some of you will get a decent spook out of it.
I'm playing up a little bit of this for effect, I guess. It's probably not the parts you think.
I just want to say that not only was this terribly interesting, it was also emotionally stirring. I can’t ever know the things you’ve gone through in any real way, but your essay made me feel like I could relate in some ways and feel empathy because of it.
Thank you, genuinely, for sharing it.
How much of this is creepypasta and how much of it is true?

I could fill a thousand books with what I think is true, and five times that with things I was told was not true but still experienced. I wish I had a satisfying answer for you, for both of us.
I'm mean the personal anecdotes. Like the story of you getting hit the head or how your pupils were weirdly dilated.

These are true, yes. I've gotten MRIs since then that show unilateral malformation of various parts of my brain, presumably resulting from the accident.
Most of these injuries appear on my left hemisphere, even though I was hit on the right side. Physics can explain this pretty easily, however, as it was my left hemisphere that hit my skull from the energy transfer of the impact.
This was a genuinely good read. The words are really put together well in a way that makes the topics easily understandable and felt. I am glad you posted this mate.
May good things come your way.
Thank you. And I appreciate you looking it over before. It helped me find the courage to continue and ultimately post it.
Not terrible for an essaypasta that is bound to only appeal to like 5% of readers.
Enjoy this reference ad, complete with some pupillary weirdness.
As someone who often finds it difficult to describe my subjective experience of consciousness to others, I'm amazed at how well you describe your own experiences in a way that (I think) I can imagine, or at least understand.
Thank you so much for sharing your story, it's given me a whole lot to think about.
Sorry, I forgot to respond to your comment! I really really appreciate that you took the time to read this. The positive feedback is a boon to me, but disregarding that, I'm happier that I've given you food for thought and a good reading experience.
The two things I want the most- engaging/entertaining/thought-provoking reading experiences and to feel understood and understand others. Comments like these affirm both. Thank you, truly.
I'm truly amazed by how you described all aspects of this article and thankful that you have posted it. On a personal level, I've experienced some of those symptoms (those on the less serious side), so your story/analysis/anecdote/whatever-one-can-call-this resonates in a special way with me. It makes me feel like I'm being heard, since now I know I'm not the only person going through this situation. I hope that you're doing well, and wish you luck and happiness for the future.
I read this a few days ago; been thinking a lot about it. Definitely late to the party but meh. I just felt like I needed to comment. Part of me thinks that this is a dumb reason to actually join the SCP wikidot, but regardless, here I am.
This page, an essay under +50, is, I shit you not, the first and only piece of writing (in memory at least) that I was not able to fully get through on the first read because of how it affected me. I'm almost embarassed to admit that. I have read a number of emotionally striking pieces, including ones on this site, and many have certainly stuck with me, but none have forced me to stop partway through in the same way that this one did. You would think this is because of relatability, but I would be lying if I said that any of this is similar to my experiences (barring more general/surface-level ideas). Honestly, I don't really understand why it made me feel the way it did, and maybe I never will, and yet it did. I feel as if there's something deep inside that hurts a lot.
Regardless, thank you for writing this. It is an amazing piece of writing, wonderfully articulated in ways I couldn't even begin to try. You are a fantastic writer, whether or not you realize it. I'm sure you've heard this from a lot of people over the years, but I don't believe it can be said enough. I wish you well.
