You've been given good advice by everyone, but I do have one thing to add. It would probably be easier if you moved the barre chord up to the 5th fret, and play an A chord. Once you get it there, then you can move it back and tackle that dreaded F chord.
The strings are easier to press in the 5th fret, and it will be easier to fix trouble spots there. When you go back to the F, it will still seem difficult to do, but you will have a better idea of what you need to do.
One other thing, your fingers will move, until you build the strength in them. If you let it, this can be very frustrating, the best thing to do is stop, and place your fingers back in position. Moving the barre chord to the 5th fret can help build the needed strength also, and try moving the barre chord up the neck before going back to the F.
This concept has been tested with many of my students, and it helped them. Let me know how it goes, and I hope it helps you too.
