Welcome to CC.

I am glad to know that you are feeling better. If the GC/administrator is aware of the difficulties you have been having in addition to the reason for these difficulties, it would be better if they wrote the letter. You are correct in assuming that disclosing that you are bipolar could be a 2-edged sword become some admission committees may think that you are not resilient enough to deal with the stresses that come with attending college (especially attending school and living on campus).

Whatever you decide to do make sure that whereever you go, that there are resources available so that you can continue to remain healthy.

all the best
