Would it be selfish of me to move far away?

In order to get away from all the chores and drama forced upon me?

What if I tell you that even when I've been in the psych ward, everyone has been too focused on "who's gonna do this and that for me?" to consider the fact I'm mentally and physically exhausted? During my 4 stays in the psych ward since 2011 I never heard "how are you?" only "but I need you to bla bla bla for me"

It would be selfish. There's absolutely no denying that. But... sometimes being selfish is essential for self-care or even self-preservation. In those cases, being selfish does not make you a bad person. It gives you new and more opportunities to be there for others who appreciate and deserve it more instead of breaking down and not being able to help anyone at all. And this sounds like one of those cases.
