Asking to move into a new role when everyone in your current department is very happy with your work

I'm good at my job but I've had it. I've been in the job for 1.5 years and I'm going to lose my mind if I stay any longer. There are a few roles available in another section that are a lot less stressful. I'd like to ask my boss to support a move but I know she's going to be shocked and ask why when everyone likes and appreciates my work. What's the best way to approach this?
