Frank, I know you are in a living hell right now. I know as I, too, have had mental health problems ( clinical depression) it is the most bizarre, frightening and lonely feeling in the world. I didn't know what was happening to me, but I do know I would have prefered to have lost a limb than live with the way I was feeling. My heart goes out to you, and I sincerely hope that when that chilling feeling strikes, it doesn't last for long, and fades away for ever as quickly as possible. I never thought ' I' would come back again, I thought that I had gone and this new sensation in my head would last for ever, BUT, fortunately it did get better. It does get better Frank, believe me, it does. That hellishly lonely feeling, that is indescribable to anyone unless they have experienced it, will go, hang on to that belief.

As a great fan of Frank's for years and also a teacher who has recently suffered the same illness as Frank,please pass on my best wishes and respect to him.Let there be no doubt that he did the right thing in going for help,it's the people that don't ask that don't recover! I have now returned to my profession after a 4 month sabbatical and our lives are better than ever,so,Frank,stick with it,and show the same courage now as you did when you faced A-Hole Tyson,etc. in your glorious career.You may not have been ? the absolute best boxer we have ever produced but in my eyes you are the "greatest" because you were a modest,kind gentleman with the courage of a "British Bulldog" when fighting,fight on and never ever quit,love to you,family,etc., please call 01888-xxxxxx if you need to talk to someone who knows what you're going through,take care, Scotty Lothian, Turriff-Aberdeenshire-Scotland - 27 September 2003

You became The Heavyweight Champion of The World, you will get through this too Frank, Eye of the Tiger, Good look. Mike, North Wales - 26 September 2003

Hi ! Frank, I hope you are on the road to recovery, unfortunately there is no quick fix for depression . I have been helping my niece through depression , and it takes time . Ignore all those people who tell you to pull yourself together , those are the folk who don't realise , that depression is an illness. Listen to the professionals do as they ask , and take one day at a time mate . It's a long road but you have the power to reach the goal ,it's another fight Frank , and you can get through it and come out a champion .My thoughts and prayers are with you and for you , I will be thinking of you champ. Best wishes Derek Williams, Southampton - 26 September 2003

Think of it as a hard fight for the title Frank. You came through in the past - come through this. You gave the public loads of pleasure and we can't afford to lose such an icon and role model as you. Best Wishes Frank Andy England, Manchester - 27 September 2003

To Frank, I work in the mental health field and wanted to let you know what someone is thinking of you all the way in Alaska. Your story touched my heart when I read about the ones you have lost...I know it is hard because I too have lost ones dear to me... I wish you all the best Frank.
Shirley in Alaska - 27 September 2003

Good Luck in getting well again. I was very dissapointed about what the press was saying about you. You are one of the best boxers England has ever seen.

Dear Mr Bruno, My father lived near door to you in Barmouth Road many many years ago and he remembers you. His recollection of you is of being a giant of a man in both physical stature and in the way you handled yourself and how you treated people. I know depression as my mother has suffered from it all my life. I think it is a challenge but any person who gets into the boxing ring with Mike Tyson in his prime is not a man to walk away from a challenge.

You can do it. You are a big man and in some ways you can help alot of black people who suffer from this awful problem by being a vocal person. It is not widely seen how much it affects black people but I know from when I have been to the hospital to see my mum that there are alot of black people with this. My thoughts go with you and your family. You are a giant of a man and I know 100% you can do it !! Clifford Dray, London - 29 September 2003

good luck frank,your not alone with this,there`s no shortage of us with or have had depression,you will get through it eventually and be the stronger for it.
Jim, Dundee - 29 September 2003

You can knock this out champ, get well soon. Dennis, Durham - 29 September 2003

Frank, hang on in there,you aint the first and you definately won't be the last to have an illness like this. I hope you get well soon and don't let them win, you are a fighter, win as you have done in the past. Get rid of the negative people around and stick with the possitive people there are enough that want to help you. take care of you Franc, London - 30 September 2003

God bless you Frank. Hang on in there man. Your in the right place and your getting the help you need. You've always been a fighter and I'm sure your going to get through this and be an even better person than you are today. You are the must respected and loved British Boxer of all time, but you don't know that right now. Hopefully one day soon you'll realise that fact. You in my prayers. Yvonne, Bristol - 30 September 2003
