I've been down that dark black hole myself, when everything and everyone is against you. You frighten yourself with the thoughts you have and the way you have behaved. Some people will take advantage of this and you will then know who your friends really are. Let go of the past and look forward to a better life. IT WILL HAPPEN,BELIEVE ME FRANK. There is light at the end of the tunnel, but I guess at the moment you can't even find the bloody tunnel!Your public is here for you, we want Frank back again, and most of all we want to hear that laugh!! email for a chat anytime. I do know what it is like!! Andrew Howe, Nottingham - 2 October 2003

Hello,just wanted to say that I think you are a great guy, who has acheived so very much. It must be a pain in the arse for you to have to put up with the added pressure of people knowing you are unwell when it is so hard for you at present. This message is to let you know that there are people out there there that genuinely care about you and wish you better. You have and always be a fighter in whatever challenge you undertake.Very Best Wishes.

Frank, I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2000, was on medication for a year or so and it was the darkest time of my life. However, there is always hope as I have now weened myself off medication, graduated this year with a Business Mgt degree and am spending a year doing an internship in San Diego for a year and I have never felt better or more in control of my life. I know that you can pull through Frank. You are a strong character. The road may not be very easy but you can pull through. I believe in you just like you have believed in everyone else over the years. You are a great inspiration to many people including myself and you deserve to have your life back on track. Be strong....Ian Orr, Norwich-5 October 2003

Dear Frank you will be going through the worst time ever in your life and can see no end,I know this because my mother as I was growing up became very ill I can only say that i am so proud that she got the help she needed and was so scared to ask for. Frank you are not on your own and have so many people who love and respect you, you are a man who is tall strong and proud , but you also happen to be a human being who needs some love and support so frank take that help mate and rest....you will be ok. my regards to you frank.

Sue, Essex.. 17 October 2003

I was appalled to see the sun head lines Frank, but it has inspired me, (as a mature student) to do a project on Mental health. The way it is percieved by "people" in general, I feel still leaves alot to be desired. Things are changing, when famous people like yourself come under media fire. Get well soon Frank, I'm sure you will. Don't give up, you have so many people behind you....
Best wishes on a speedy recovery. Tina L. Bettess, Baldock - 18 October 2003

Frank, we're all rooting for you at this time of your difficulties. You've been an inspiration to thousands and I hope the thought of this gives you some inspiration. As a sufferer of depression myself I understand what you must be going through and I also know how the support of others helps me, so hang in there and remember how many people are out there for you.

Frank u r the man. Britains finest! ull get thru this eventually mate. lookin 4ward 2 seeing u bk 2 businees soon. Danny, Preston - 19 October 2003

Hi Frank, how're you doing buddy? Great to see you are on the mend. I did send E/Mail to you when you were first taken ill. Your sickness is proof of the fact that you are a feeling person.Anyone with feelings, when under the stress that you were experiencing could have a temporary lapse.You are as we all are aware, a great fighter. You will as I have been aware from the onset of your problem overcome.
I did have an article on your behalf printed in the South Wales Echo on The 7th of October.
Kind regards Frank,
Ray Hannah, Barry South Glamorgan Wales...20 October 2003

BURY ST EDS... 27 October 2003

Glad you are home again. I was recently sectioned under the mental health act in February when my mother and father died within 3 days of each other and so I know what an awful experience it is. You will come back stronger and will soon be the Frank we know and love. My son met you when he was about 8 years old at the BBC studios, now aged 23 he is a Briish Weightlifter and still talks about when he met you and what a great guy you are. Give yourself time to make a full recovery and God bless you. Eileen Reynolds, London ... 27 October 2003

Dear Frank, I was so sorry to hear of your illness, especially as I have been through the same sort of thing, and understand some of the things you're going through. I know that the world probably seems a lonely place and that you wish the ground would open and swallow you up. Its good that you are back home where you can control things a bit better and begin to take charge again. Dont rush things ,Frank just go with the flow and chill,man. Try to find something to focus on, to take your mind off things, even something youve not tried before, its good therapy. You can do it, mate, keep hanging on in there, just like the McCall fight. I was there Frank and the atmosphere was electric. Thank you for the things youve done for boxing and other stuff.You have put a lot of energy etc into all the things you've done, in a short space of time, now take time and let people help you in any way they can, and dont be ashamed to take it, cos you have earned it. Take care,Frank and feel free to e mail if you want to , anytime. Regards and respect, Life time fan!!
