I love my children and husband very much but i do feel that they are a major trigger for me. Its like when my children play up i turn to food and then binge, and when anyone close to me is ill i also turn to food out of anxiety, its like my husband has a stomach bug and i cant be supportive i just am worked up and stressed out and really fighting not to binge. im awful if anyone near me is ill i totally go into panic mode and have to get away. am i selfish?

Your not selfish. This is your way to cope. I cope by not eating when it all gets too much.
