I’m so sorry. Even if you never specifically asked her not to share, most people wouldn’t post others’ very personal struggles online. I’ve learned the hard way that some people can’t be trusted not to gossip about everything they’re told.
As others said, if trust is gone, friendship is over. She owes you a sincere apology. What she did isn’t ok.
It wasn't like she brought it up with good intentions (as in, You should seek help etc for your own good)
It was from a cruel angle, and the context of it all too (posting on FB in your social circle)
Cut ties from her, and tell her off on Facebook with something like "Your comments were uncalled for and friends do not betray/ cross the line like this"
That would also send the message to others in the circle to watch their back around her

This would seem to be totally the wrong tack to take if the OP would like the comment deleted.
If the OP doesn't want this aspect of her personal problems on FB then she should get on the stick and ask to have it deleted before doing anything else.
While you’re not sure what you should do about the friendship yet for the long term, you should definitely have her delete the comment if you don’t want it out there. Do that now — the longer it’s out there the more people who will see it and the more violated you may feel.
You can delete any comments on your FB page, you don't have to wait for the person who wrote the comment to remove it.
I would never speak to this person again. Ever. Also, block her on all social media.
