can anyone help me

I feel like i am the only one, i tried explaining it to 2 psychologists but they dont seem to understand. I hope someone can help me when you have the same: whenever i walk out on the streets or i am in a building or school every place i know i am outside and not home but it just feels like i am floating and just not there. So i fysicly I know I am somewhere but I really can't feel that I am there I am just feeling like I am dreaming and being not able to know what happens around me. I hope someone can help me explain, the psychologist labeled it is as social phobia yes I have that too but I just cannot find someone with social fobia with the same experience that I just explained. Thank you, my English is not perfect just ask when you don't understand I have tried.

This sounds more like derealization, a symptom of anxiety.

I am surprised that no one mentioned Dissociative Disorder in visiting 2 different doctors.  I am not a doctor and don't know your history but I found the following from a website.

Treatment
Since dissociative disorders seem to be triggered as a response to trauma or abuse, treatment for individuals with such a disorder may stress psychotherapy, although a combination of psychopharmacological and psychosocial treatments is often used. Many of the symptoms of dissociative disorders occur with other disorders, such as anxiety and depression, and can be controlled by the same drugs used to treat those disorders. A person in treatment for a dissociative disorder might benefit from antidepressants or antianxiety medication.

Best of luck to you
