I don't know what to tell you, man. You need the time off or you wouldn't feel that you needed it so much, but if the bosses won't hear you then... I guess maybe just take your boss into the office and just have an emotional but respectful moment where you tell them that "Look, I need this time off. I'm ****ing not kinda good right now and if I don't get the time off I won't be good for work. After this I'll be good but I need this." I mean if you can communicate your need to be off for that amount of time in a way that makes it clear that it's a mental state thing and not just you trying to flake on a week of work then maybe they'll get jolted out of indifferent boss mode and do you a solid. Unless your boss is a sociopath then they probably do actually care somewhat about you as a person simply because people tend to care more than they think they do.

I mean I'm sure I looked at least somewhat like a crazy person when talking to my boss about my co-worker I can't stand but when I told him I can't stand working with her and would very much like to get put on a different shift even though I've been on this shift for three years he listened. I know he's probably giving me the side eye right now but I've been heard and listened to.
