I have a coworker who I used to be on good terms with, until yesterday when her husband (also a coworker) was fired for reasons of productivity and disrespect towards management. This morning at about 6:30 when she knew I’d be sleeping (I work swing shift, and I get off at 1 am) she sent me a slew of text messages all including obscenities that insinuated that I was lazy and no good at my job, and those who actually work are fired (such as her husband who had been in trouble for productivity several times) and those who are lazy and talk on their phones while at work (which she intended towards me and a couple other coworkers) are free to keep their jobs… She has already (just since the incident, less than 24 hours ago) called the management at work trying to get us in trouble for things, and now she has resorted to making threatening and offensive comments towards those of us who still have our jobs.
I made a simple statement towards her that I would be saving the messages and showing them to management because of harassment. She told me that it’s not harassment because she’s off the clock, and then a few hours later I wake up to a text message stating “Just as an fyi it’s not harassment if you freely give out a number.”
Is she correct, would going to management over this be a pointless endeavor, or is it indeed harassment what she is doing to me and my fellow coworkers? It is causing even more stress in an already stressful workplace, and caused me to lose sleep over it. I just would like to know if there is actually anything I can do about it or if I simply have to put up with this new onslaught.
Thanks in advance for your answers!

Especially when the diagnosis comes at 45 years of age, with no previous history of mental illness?
My apologies for the lengthy additional details, but this is important. Here is a brief summary of what has happened in the past 4 years:
Single mom with rheumatoid arthritis, a painful, crippling disease.
Widespread osteoarthritis, in need of two total knee replacements, various other joint reconstruction necessary.
No pain meds nor pain management prescribed by doctors.
Currently taking moderate, fluctuating doses of prednisone along with 20 mgs. of methotrexate (a cancer drug) weekly.
Feelings of guilt over how this disease has affected my family.
Inability to engage in many previously enjoyed activities. This has led to a sense of loss.
Mother has been ill during this time and has endured 5 surgeries.
In the past 90 days the following has occurred:
Found a breast lump with lymph node swelling in the nearest armpit.
Enlarged thyroid with thyroid lump.
Have entered menopause.
Monthly income has dropped by more than half, with total income per month at less than $400 dollars. Very real possibility of homelessness.
Strange medical and emotional symptoms include panic attacks, night sweats, extreme fatigue, insomnia, irritability, frequent crying, increased joint and muscle pain, etc.
Feeling depressed and overwhelmed, I sought counseling. My therapist felt I was simply overly anxious and depressed, and recommended that I speak with the clinic psychiatrist. She felt he may prescribe something to ease my symptoms.
After only one hour with me, during which he asked only 10-15 questions to which I was not allowed to elaborate in my answer, he slapped me with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder, wrote a prescription for anti-convulsants and sent me from his office.
Needless to say, this has caused additional stress, and I will be seeking a second opinion.
My question is, considering all that I have endured these past 4 years, is it possible that the diagnosis is grossly inaccurate?
Might one in my position be expected to suffer anxiety and depression, and experience similar physical and emotional symptoms?
Thank you for taking the time to read that.

Best? Well, there really is no best way, it depends on what works best for you.
Deep breathing: Breath in through your mouth to your stomach and out through your nose. A few times may make you feel better.
When off work, find some time to exercise. Running is a good way to increase the flow of serotonin to your brain. A great way to work through ideas by getting your blood pumping too.
Find ways to distract yourself from stressors to practice letting them go.
