I suppose that's my very strong will to live and protect myself. It also sounds selfish, but I will have to be in order to survive this current reality I'm faced with.

If you ever fly on a commercial airplane, the stewardess says "Put on your air mask first." It is not selfish. If you pass out you cannot help the ones who need your help.
So it may sound selfish but when your intention is to help the other person, taking care of yourself is a very compassionate act.
