Hello AJ
I can relate with you with the depression because I've had my share of sorrows but with God's help I have overcome them and I won't turn back to face them because their in my past. I want you to remember it's not where you come from its where you are going beyond. This is just one of many obstacles many people have come across and I know you'll recover just fine. When you do overcome your battle you can help many others with their struggle by using yourself as a tool because you have been there and done that.
I wish you the best of luck and may God bless you and the things you do
Peace, Love, and Soul
Remeber stay strong and it doesn't matter what they say because I'll still love you n e way
Just believe and you will succeed
and you'll make it all the way

Aj, you may feel as if you arent very strong right now since you are going through all of these personal issues, but I believe that you are so much stronger than you may believe... You had the courage to be real not only with yourself, but with your fans. Because of that, you may have helped someone else realize that they are in a situation that they need to get help from also. I have every faith in you and in who you are...Not only who Aj of the BSB is, but who you Aj, as an individual are. With all of my heart and every ounce of my faith i believe in you, and will always be here every step of the way believing in you. If ever a shoulder is what you need, or just a hand to hold, i will always be here for you...
I luv ya !

I don't really know what to say... First off all my thoughts and prayers go out to AJ, his family, and the boys. I think that them coming out and telling the truth is something that is very respectful. People don't understand many musicians too have dealt with depression, anxiety, and alcoholism, but it doesn't come out untill 20 years later. They could have hid this and said he broke a bone ,but then they would be hidding behind lies. They should be respected for their honesty. I'm very relieved he came out and said he needed help. It takes a strong person to admit they need help. AJ is a strong person and I believe he will over come this great obstacle. This will not affect my judgement if anything I have gained more respect for them and especially AJ. I believe in AJ and so do so many millions of people and I think we all just want him to get better for the well-being of himself. Untill then we'll be waiting for his comeback.

Aj,
You are the bomb!! I don't think anyone could've stepped up the way you did and took charge of your life, babyboy. I and as you can see, all of your adoring fans, love you very much and hope that you get better. We know you will and you are in my heart forever. I am glad that you have a terrific mother and family and also Nick, Brian , Kevin, and Howie to help push you up the stairs to recovery. I wish I could be there with you, but we all know that ain't happening so I'll be with you in prayers. Maybe some day I will get to meet you and I can learn and help pass your courage and strength on to others. Stay true and strong, baby. Love ya much, Kilee

To everyone
This isn't the first thing I have responded to about this whole thing with AJ.It gets harder every time I try to express my opinion. The more I read and see the worse I feel. I am only 16 years old. I feel so helpless and I really wish I could do more to help AJ and the rest of our boys. I was just telling my cousin who is one of my best friends and also a huge BSB fan that I feel terrible. It's times like this I wish I were like 21 and more then just fan. I wanna be there for them as much as possible to help them through these problems. But I can only do so much from my point ya know being another fan who they don't really know. I just keep voicing my opinion and hopefully that will help I want everyone to know that despite this I will always love and support them. BSB has helped me through many of my own teenage problems and I don't know what I would have done without them. If anyone could pull through this it's AJ. His love for his music and fans and all our support will help him a lot and I'm happy with at least knowing I can do that much. So everyone KTBPA and keep doin what ya can to support and love our boys. Love Kristin LoBiondo
