Found something interesting and highly relevant to me while researching. It is the Ego Dissolution Scale
>Ego dissolution scale (EDS) The 10-item EDS is a self-report questionnaire quantifying trait-like propensities towards self-loss experiences (Sleight et al., 2023).The items include some things like odd body experiences, sense of unity with the universe, etc. I honestly can't find a specific list at this point but it seems to be strongly associated with depersonalization/dissociation.
You see, my villain backstory (one which was deleted here) is that at 8 yrs old I survived a delirium during childhood, one where my body temperature reached 40C (104F) degrees Fahrenheit. I didn't think of it much at the time. But looking back, my mom lamented a lot how she felt like I was stolen and replaced. Even my sister confirmed it, 15 years later. It feels like everyone hid the truth all this time and acted like nothing changed. But I think it may actually finally explain why I was so odd.
There's some research, though scarce, on pediatric delirium/febrile encephalopathy and its effects. I think I only saw this one yet about another 8 yrs old patient:

>Two days later, he was extubated. However, his parents noted that he was now anxious and was not acting like he usually did. When he awakened, he needed to be reminded that he was in the hospital. But I'll need to see more.
