YOU CAN DO IT, AJ! we believe in you... we love you...

AJ,Where to start? You are a brave man for taking the first step. There are few people who are able to do that. Congrats on that! I'm so happy that you and the other guys were honest about this with the fans. It makes me feel closer to you, knowing that you wouldn't lie to me about something this important. Please don't worry about the fans not being there when you come back, for the most part, I can honestly say that we will all be here for you, no matter what happens. I hope you get better, and I can't wait to see you on tour! I truly believe that you can overcome this. And if you overcome this, nothing can stop you. Love ya and stay cool!

Hey. First of all I just wanted to tell u that u are one of my biggest role models. Always have been and always will be. No matter what. I just want to say thank u sooooooo much for everything. Words cant begin to describe how much I appreciate everything that u do. You guys have encouraged me (especially u) to get out and do things that I never thought I could do. Sing a solo to the song "perfect fan" in front of hundreds of people was one of those things. You guys have just been my everything since u guys started the backstreet boys. I just want to wish you the best with everything, especially the treatment and everything and best of luck to u in the future. I also would like u to know that u have my support from now until the end of time. You have my promise. And I don't break promises. I admire your strength and I hope to see u soon. Email me sometime if u are not to busy (which I am sure u are) k? Cloudsurfer1201@aol.com or bsbshiningstar18@aol.com. Love ya~ cierra

AJ,
I want to tell you that we love you, and I speak for us all when I say we want you to get better. Take your time healing. the tour, the fans, and everything else can wait for you. You are in our prayers. I think it's great that you realized you have a problem and are willing to fix it, many people aren't strong enough to do that. Take your time, God will take care of you! Love you always,
Melanie

Dearest AJ,I am really devastated by the news of your depression. Please don’t blame yourelf, you are only human, although in your fans’ eyes you will always be LARGER THAN LIFE.
Depression is very serious and I’m sure everyone would agree for you to take as much time as you need. It’s more important that you get 100% better than go on tour with any of the depression still with you.
You and your music have always been there for me, so please, let me be here for you. We, your fans, love you and will wait for you forever.
My prayers, my thoughts, and my heart will always be with you.
I wish you a great, and speedy recovery.
I love you with all my heart,
Nazanin XOX
PS: Here is a poem I wrote for you
~
SWEETHEART
You buried yourself in problems
You released them all with beer
You needed to go-to get away
You had to run from the fear
You hid the truth from the world
Under your smile, away from me
I can’t believe I didn’t notice
I can’t believe I didn’t see
It was all in your eyes
In your tears and in your cries
You kept your eyes buried
Hidden behind a disguise
The sunglasses you always wear
Concealed the hurt and the pain
You had to keep it a secret
You tried to remain sane
You never showed anyone
That you were so lost & confused
When the cameras were off
You were tired and used
You finally revealed
The truth behind your smile
Now you don’t have to feel
Like your heart is on trial
We’ll walk together through this darkness
I’ll walk beside you on your way to the sun
I never leave you through the loneliness
I know you will find happiness.
~
PPS: I know you can be happy again
I believe in you.

I know I've already entered a message but I've thought of so many things to put in. AJ all I can say is that you rock! All us fans want is for you to be happy. I hope you will overcome this obstacle in your life and truly find yourself. You are an inspiration and I and many others respect you deeply for it. It truly takes a "real man" (I know that sounds really corny) to stand up and say that they have a problem. My respect for you has only grown. We all care about you AJ and are all praying for you to get well.
Hugs and Kisses
Cailin PerrySee you in Edmonton!!
