Welu:
That is pretty creepy and the reaction definitely makes it seem like it was them. I did see the links before they were taken down and I really don't understand why someone would get upset over what you posted and not just get upset, but make it so about them.

All it was was a Facebook post disclosing some mental health issues I deal with.

Interesting.  Not really sure what to do with that, but...interesting.

My best friend had her identity stolen and nothing was done about it.  We know the address of the people who did it, because they had credit cards in her name and had things shipped to their address.  The police did nothing about it.  They took police reports on each new account she discovered, but said they couldn't go an arrest them because there was no proof it was really the people at that address. It seems like minimal investigation could prove it was, but it was just not a priority. 

She had a lock put on her identity, so that opening new accounts required answering a series of questions about herself.  The problem was half of the information the credit agencies had about her was wrong.  For instance when she went to open a new cell phone account, one of the questions was "have you ever lived on X street" Or "what is the amount owed on you Y account?"  These were questions about the couple who stole her identity, and not her, so she answered them as such. (I never lived there.  I have never opened an account with them)  This meant she got the "wrong" answers and they denied her application as fraud.  Meanwhile the couple posing as her? They could have answered these questions with no problem.   The ones that did pertain to her were all things contained on her credit report, which they could have easily accessed with the information they clearly had, since they opened multiple accounts in her name.

The article linked in that entry is quite useful to get a better understanding of the concept as well. "Check My What?"
