No! Of course not. I personally think we have to give ourselves a break once in a while because pushing ourselves too much is bad for our health, both physically and mentally.

I think taking a personal mental health day is a positive thing. If you are going to have to do this then I suggest telling your boss ahead of time

No, if you at least warn your boss that you'll be off for a while. Everyone needs to get off and relax sometimes.

Nobody can answer that for you, only you know yourself the best. And self care is of the utmost importance. Its hard to be the person or worker you need to be if stress is getting the best of you. Also perhaps talking to your supervisor or boss can help you deal with the cause of the stress also, if they are the cause, then perhaps you need to look at other avenues, and possibly speak with a counselor or therapist for further assistance.

Missing work due to work related stress does not make you a bad employee. However, not attending to the issues resulting in the stress at work, will result in the employee using works stress as an excuse for missing work on a regular basis and this will not reflect well on your employee record. It is important to communicate through the correct channels if you are facing challenges in the work place.

You're not a bad employ but you might want to consider speaking with your boss about the stress you're experiencing at work and this also goes for home as well. It will help them understand your situation and it will also help them to help you.

You should talk it through with them first and notify them of why.

It might not be ideal, but if you're so far it might be best if you go to a GP and get a sick notice so you can deal with the stress in a long term and effective way. Check out the guide here on 7 cups on work stress.

No, you are not.
Unless you skip work every second day or fail to notify the office about your issues. "Work stress" is a relevant reason. You need to solve the matter. It will harm you if you continue to work under stress. What's causing you the stress? Is it unfair treatment? Then, report the matter to the authority figures.
Respect yourself and the office.
