NC as outing and don't want it linked.

There's a lot going on at the moment. My boss, a kind man is very worried about me and has asked me to make a GP appointment to tell them what I'm trying to juggle at the mo:
my MIL has lung cancer, v young niece bone cancer, dog has dementia, DM a widow, has a lung condition. I'm always bailing her out financially or being her emotional punchbag. She is relentless. We're trying to move house (bad neighbours) which is almost complete & we have renovations to do when moving in. Full time 40 hour week job PLUS building up my own business so effectively working 7 days a week, days & evenings. My FT job I hate, I don't sleep well anyway but get about 3 hours night before I'm in the office as I don't want to be there. Boss is lovely but doesn't communicate & I can't manage him anymore. He could help me with my work stress but 'it's just his way'. They will recruit for a replacement so I can go PT but haven't started yet. The above is all in addition to trying to run a home, have a life, no kids but do have a DH.

My dilemma is I've rarely had a day off sick in all my working years. My DF committed suicide so I'm aware of mental health issues having my own also. Most of the above is going on around me but isn't ME going through it IYSWIM. Boss says I should go, but I'm scared to be judged for being off sick when I don't think I need to be.

You need to do what is right for you, not worry about what others will think. Maybe consult a doctor and see if they can help you. Imho, you should definitely take some time off. Maybe focus your "work" efforts into your business. Who knows, you may never need to go work again. I hope you do what's right for you.
