Your lack of domestic skills reminds me of an episode I saw earlier from a show called the Goldbergs. Not sure if you're familiar with the show but in this episode the daughter came back home for the weekend feeling stressed. She tried to do laundry but didn't know about bleeding colors and her dormmate was displeased that she didn't know how to cook. She complained to her mother and the mother offered to help her instead of teaching her. Her dad stepped in and told his wife to stop babying her.
She did actually end up learning as did her younger brother. They were so proud to be self sufficient and the mom was sad at first since she won't be needed. Then her husband reminded her it's for their best interest and that they're growing up. She agreed.
Moral of the story is you can learn all these skills if you really want to. Sure it's easier for someone else to do it and your mom might even prefer it. If she discourages you then learn anyways.
You don't have to tackle everything at once. Some skills are easier to learn than others depending on the person. If you make a mistake don't give up. Read books and watch YouTube tutorials. The libraries in your area might have a pick up program to check out books or online books.
As for your fears you can conquer them. Pray for strength and trust that the Lord will guide you through. It's scary to face a fear but afterwards I feel relieved or happy. Since amusement parks are closed I don't know what else to suggest for heights. Maybe hiking and looking over the ledge?
