A.J., I understand what you are going through with the death of your grandmother because me and my grandfather were really close,too.Anyway, I hope you get better in rehab and join the boys really soon because they're not the same without you.
You must be back for August because my friend is going(Aug.13)and she has a big crush on you!! Plus, she was really sad when she found out about it,and someone on the internet said something really terrible and she told the person to shut the hell up and I was shocked !!!
Anyway,I'm 13 and I saw you guys on March 2,2001(in Oakland)the day after my 13th b-day(March 1,1988).
I hope that you will be better and back on the road because I know that you love to be on stage.Also,no matter what happens good or bad I will always be there for you,and belive in you, and that you and the other guys will be there for me and all of the other Backstreet Boys fans!!!! I also hope that when you get better that my friends and I could throw you a congrats party for getting better because we are all very concerned about you and your hralth!!! (# 1 priority)
When you see the guys tell them that I said "HI!"
LOTS OF LOVE,
Stacie ZielinskiP.S. I'm really sorry about your grandmother!:(:(:
P.P.S. I love you very much!!!!!!!!
(:GET WELL SOON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AJ,
I have a great deal of respect for you, because you went and got help when you needed it. After my best friend killed herself 3 years ago I became really depressed, and I tried to kill myself too. I tried to tell my friends and family that I was depressed, but they ignored what I was telling them. When Brian, Howie, Kevin, and Nick came out and said that you have a problem, it made me realize that even celebrities have their problems too, and that getting help for depression, and other illnesses is not something someone should be ashamed of. I went to my doctor today, something that I have been putting off for a long time. I’m finally going to be getting help for my depression. Your story is an inspiration to me, and others. I wish you lots of luck, and I know you’ll get better!! :)
Hugs and Kisses
xoxo
Erin
P.S. The concerts you did in Connecticut were awesome!!! I’m also going to your concert in Boston on September 8th. I can’t wait to see you again. Also if you ever have the time and feel like e-mailing me, my address is DuhImBlonde1285@hotmail.com

AJ,
i just wanted to tell you that i am so very proud of you for stepping up like that and admitting that you wanted help. i have a friend with the same problem and he never did anything about it, but you had real courage to do something for yourself. i also respect the other boys for coming out and talking about it to us (your fans) because it shows that you really do care about us and you have the guts not to lie and thats very good. i must say that i have loved you guys and your music for quite some time now and i hope to see you back soon, to make some more of that awesome music that you are so very good at doing. you all have amazing talent and i love you guys so much and your music has managed to get me through some very hard times. i thank you for that i only hope i can get a chance to meet you some day!! i wish you the best of luck in your treatment, i know you'll come back a better man and just wow us all!! good luck AJ, and i love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey A.J.,This is Jo from B.C. Canada. Depression is an illness that is very hard to over come. I just want to also say that you were very brave in telling Kevin, Howie, Nick, and Brian that u had a problem. Not many guys I know would do something like that. It takes alot of bravery, and u showed it big time!! I also want to let u know that I also have a illness that deals with depression, so I have an understanding of what your going through. It's not clinical, but only genectically transmitted. I have to take paxil, an anti depresent that controls it. I also want to say, that the fans who are showing support for A.J., KEEP IT UP!!! He needs all the help and support that he can get!! Get well Soon A.J.=) yours truly
Jo

Aj,
I don't know exactly how to start this off. For one thing, I'm so damn proud of you. I think that this whole ordeal proves that you are a regular person who has some type of problems. I'm so proud of you for saying that you needed help. I was scared at first, because I thought that your drinking problem was over. I had no clue that you also had a depression and anxieity(sorry if I spelt it wrong, I'm tired) problem. When I heard it on TRL I was in shock. I never thought that it would be serious. My friend has depression, I think she slit her wrist about 10 times, so far, and she cuts her legs, and pokes pins into her hand. When she told me that, I broke down. She is my best friend. But, I have never met you, and I feel so sad, yet proud for you. You are very brave, if I had that problem, I'd ignore it, I just wouldn't care enough about myself to trouble others. Thats how I am now, I have always been that way. All my attention is focused on your recovery, nothing else. I love ya, and I don't want you sad. You're prolly thinking, 'How can she love me if she hasn't even met me?' or something along those lines, but trust me, all the love I don't get from my mom/family, I give to others, and when you sing, you make me forget all of my troubles, thats one of the many reasons why I love ya. I don't believe in God, but I'm praying to someone every night for your quick recovery, I hope you get better. I hope that you are able to read this. I sound so selfish, I know, I'm sorry. But I want you to know, no matter what you do, no matter what you say, no matter what, I will ALWAYS love you. I don't love you because your famous or EXTREMELY hot(tssss..spicy, [I'm strange]), I love you because you are you, and that's all that matters to me. I'd give everything I have to have you be happy, to have you not frown, I'd give my life to tell you face to face how proud I am of you. You didn't want to lie, that takes guts, and other bands are prolly pokin fun at this whole thing. But I will never listen to a negative comment about this, because in my heart, you are doing the right thing. I know you are, please get better. I'll do anything to see you happy. Name it, I'll do it. Just please, please, please, please get better. I don't want you sad anymore. Please be happy.Please be happy, you deserve it. You make other people happy all the time, it's not fair that you aren't happy, please be happy.
Im the words of Ren and Stimpy:
HAPPY, HAPPY, JOY, JOY! HAPPY, HAPPY, JOY!PLEASE BE HAPPY! Love always and forever,
~*~Samm~*~ P.S-I just want you to be happy. I'd give my life for you to be happy. I just want you to be happy. Please....

AJ,
My name is Laura, not my real name - I'm paranoid that way. I just want to know, what made you do it? What drove you to finally go up to the guys and tell them you needed help? What made you realise that you couldn't do it on your own anymore?
I think I'm suffering from depression, well I've attempted suicide twice anyway. But somehow I don't think it's real. I think, maybe, I do it for attention. But I'm not sure. Because sometimes there is nothing more in the world that I want than to cease to exist. I try coming up with reasons for my behaviour, for wanting to live, but there are none.
Did you ever feel so ... i dont know what that word is... just that you're feeling so much of that particular emotion that you can't do a thing? You can't do a damned thing, and your life is falling apart becase you're not doing a damned thing. And somehow, you pull through to see another day, cuz maybe that's what's expected of you. And you hate youself for it afterward.
I've approached a friend about this. But I think I might have blown everything out of proportion. I might have lied a little, the attention thing comes in there. But I've found myself depending on her too much, it's not fair to her to burden her with my every whim.
I haven't done anything else. I don't think it's worth it. I don't think my life is worth that. But I need to know how you made that decision to get help. I would really like to know.
Laura

Dear AJ, How are you? I hope that your doing much better. When I first heard the news, I was shocked because there
were no signs that you had some problems. After the other guys coming clean with all this on TRL, I was really
proud of you that you realised that you needed help. It takes someone strong to do this kind of thing and let me tell
you that you're so strong as a person and I'm happy for that.I have so much respect for you and the rest of the guys and
I want to tell you, you are an aspiring person just to be that confident. You're such a role model to me as well as the other guys.
I truly think that it was the best decision to make in order to get you back with us , the fans and everybody coz we love you AJ!
I've been supporting you and the guys ever since you guys started and it will never end. I will always be there.I know deep in my heart
that your gonna be better, healthy again and stronger than ever. You're in my prayers and thoughts everyday as well as the other guys
and your family. I love you AJ and I believe in you:-) Love ya lots,
Josee

hey aj whats up?...I know there is not too much that a fan could do to help, except to give our love and support. I'm not going to feed you any kind of phony line saying I know how you feel, cause I don't. One thing I can tell you that is truth is that throughout the past 5 or 6 years you have been there for me wheather you know it or not. There wasn't a single day that I couldn't pop in a bsb cd without a smile growing across my face, and there wasn't a single moment where I couldn't turn to your music for comfort. But now its your turn, your turn to get that same type of comfort from the fans. With everything you and the guys have done for us, you deserve all of it back. That is why i'm writing to you now, to give you back the love and support you have given me. I think I speak for every bsb fan when I say you were willing to give us everything you could...and we are willing to give the same. We will be behind you all the way!
love & support ~kristina~

Dear AJ,
I am so proud of you. Your strength and courage has truly impressed me. I have been a fan of yours for about 5 years now, and I have loved every single minute of it! As my taste in music changed throughout the years, you guys have always been at the top of my list, and always will be! You are truly a positive figure for everyone to follow. Everyone I know respects your decision and is happy to know that you have confronted your problems. As my family has told me, "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger." I am positive that you will only become stronger with the support of your family, friends, and fans. You are in my prayers. Good luck, I know you will be successful in whatever you do!
Lots of Love,
Juliana Chuisano
