I'm trying to decide if I should tell her about the one time I hurt myself by biting my hand. It didn't bleed but I did bruise a bit and my hand stayed swollen for a few days. It's the only time I've had the urge to hurt myself. If I tell her I'm having thoughts of that she always puts down that I'm showing suicidal tendencies. She knows I won't go into the hospital unless it's absolutely necessary so she always has me sign a safety contract.

I did a depression screening (the same one I do at the psych office) and it showed moderate to severe depression. That explains why I am staying exhausted and have next to no motivation to do anything right now. On the one hand I know I should tell her but on the other hand I don't want her to know because I don't want to deal with nausea that comes with an increase in Wellbutrin.

Being bipolar sucks and is a royal pain in the rear end.

Please do tell her. It doesn't sound like you had intentions to really hurt yourself, but your psych needs to know you are still struggling. There's nothing wrong with asking for help
