The good thing is I just moved to an Android phone a few months ago. There's a third-party program called Textra which has the option to disable all timestamps, which is a lot better than iMessage and its default timestamp options.

I admit I've been lazy checking Facebook's timestamp options but that will be next on my agenda. My gut tells me there's no option for removing that.

I thank all of you for your replies. I had a really difficult morning but it's been a much better day overall. I ended up talking to some of the friends I mentioned in this post and some of my concerns ended up being a big misunderstanding.

While I admit I overreacted a bit, I also think there should be better communication between people. That's what I pride in my friendships --- communication and organization. Yes, I can and will drop everything to hang out, but I'd also like some notice once in a while too.

While this is something I hope my friends consider, it also should be something I could learn from as well. If they don't want to talk to me, well, so be it. They have no right asking me where I've been or spreading rumors of my hospitalization or death, however.
