I've experienced depersonalization for a couple of hours myself (sleep deprivation and stress, in my case), and it's not an experience I'd recommend.
This would fall under my option (2) in that your behavior is different in the sense that the manner in which you conduct your life has been disrupted. You felt depersonalized because you lost control over your life, etc.

I think if "self" refers to anything, it refers to your life in the world and not just to some inner brain state or whatever. In that scenario, disruptions to self are disruptions to your life, which consists of both you, your environment, and what you can achieve in it.
