I don't think you sound selfish at all. considering everything you are going through right now and having to deal with, it's only natural to want to just let go of everything and not have any responsibilities.
if I could, I'd totally give you a weekend where you had to do nothing but lay on the couch and watch dvds and I would make you all of your favorite foods.
Just because you want some peace of mind for yourself doesn't make you selfish.
When I went through this same stuff, sometimes I got so stressed that I had to kind of "numb myself" emotionally. It was kind of like being aware of events but not feeling in the middle of it all and it did work to get me through a time of crisis. I never had to do that again. I probably gained some strength from the experience. Wisdom too, I suppose.
I think life is not unlike a series of sine waves. We end-up undulating between times of stress and recovery. With some effort, the stress is easier (well, relatively) to bear and pushes you to appreciate the good times more.
