being able to sign a long-term lease to live somewhere, make an ADVANCE reservation for a plane-even somewhere I want to go, make plans to get together with friends, make advance appointments for medical treatment. This society runs on schedules, advanced planning, signing leases, etc. and I freeze into paralysis with anxiety of being locked in to anything! Yes, that includes work (I freelance). I only can bear one day at a time. This is serious and I can't afford a therapist (which would require an advance appointment and money), so I would appreciate any help in this.

You are right about the restrictons imposed by the U.S. society, especially in the large cities, but why not change societies instead of struggling with rearanging your true nature. Living in anxiety is part of what the U.S. way of life imposes upon sensitive souls. Explore a different culture, that caters to your needs and would thus be more suitable.
