How can I increase my chances of having my boss approve this schedule change?

I work at a help desk. Right now, I work every day but Tuesday and Wednesday. I'd much rather have Saturday and Sunday off. The real reason for this is that well, I suffer from depression and loneliness and I want to improve my well being by being able to meet up with and hang out with people when they are off work: Saturday and Sunday.

I'm scared that saying my reason for asking for this is for my mental well being will raise a lot of red flags. I'm a Contractor so I kinda feel I walk on thin egg shells. My contract lasts through February so I don't exactly wanna just wait it out. How can I ask for this professionally in a way that gives me the best chances of getting this request. Willing to work any time.

    Maybe you have to work there longer to get your choice of days off.

    Tell them your doctor suggested it.
