QUESTION
Can they get away with this if I was recently a victim of online bullying?

More details to this question:
Personal and professional correspondences were posted on a Facebook account which I had no control over, without my consent. I had contacted the confessed perpetrators as well as the social media provider and asked for them to remove the content but both parties had refused. It was recently deleted but it was absolutely humiliating and it has affected me mentally and physically. My friends, family and coworkers were all able to view the content posted.

You do not give us enough information. If you sent communications to another person it is public and they can post it unless perhaps you told them to keep it secret. If everything is true or none of its states a alleged fact as opposed to an opinion ["I think she is an idiot' is an opinion and can not be the basis of a defamation action].
