Antiwork

I need the day off but my manager says no (UK)

I have to tell my manager that I can't work my shift this weekend. I've told them twice but both times I've been told no… I tried to book it off as a holiday 2 weeks ago and that got rejected. I've tried to shift swap and no one would. I have an appointment that I've been waiting over 6 months to get. I can't cancel or reschedule without waiting another month or maybe another 6. I have high functioning anxiety and have been losing sleep over this. I don't want to lose my job and my manager intimidates me. I'm so scared to talk to them tomorrow and I'm scared to tell them no again. Any advice or encouragement would be amazing. I've had panic attacks over this and I'm feeling sick. I hope I get some sleep tonight.
