AJ,
I just wanted to let you know that all your fans are supporting you and the guys as you face your problems. I've been through depression and I know it's hard to face that you have it, I had a hard time doing it. Just remember to be strong and we (the fans) are all here to support you, Nick, Brian, Kevin, and Howie. Guys keep your heads up and be strong. Nick, I know your upset. I saw you on TRL and it hurt me to see you cry, but everything will work out for the best. Hang in there baby. The same for the rest of the guys, AJ's family and the fans. Hang in there everything will work out.

Dear AJ,
It take a strong person to say they have
a problem. I hope you get better really
soon. You are a good person and there
will be angels with you all the time.
There are people in a small town
in NY praying for you and we all love
you. I hope you return to the Backstreet
Boys really soon. But your health comes
first. Good luck. Love always,
Jen Flanders

Dear A.J., When I heard what you are going through I instantly began to cry. To learn the person you love with all your heart is suffering from depression is something so hard to cope with. I’m writing to let you know how much I care and love you. I know you haven’t met me, and I haven’t even met you. But, that doesn’t mean I can’t love you dearly. Many people all over the world go through what you are going through, and I think being honest and having the truth be told of what you are going through is an inspiration to a lot of people. Since you went out and got help, people in your same situation will I think have the courage to go and receive help as well. I have been a continuous fan of you and the rest of the Backstreet Boys since 1996. You’ve pretty much been my life for the past 5 years. I know that sounds quite odd. But you are such an inspiration. I remember a while back when I think you broke your leg *Or something similar to that* and you still went on the stage and performed. Your constant devotion to your fans just shows the great man you are. You will be in my prayers everyday till you are well again. I love you AJ. You're getting the help you need. I'll see you September 9. With love always and forever,
Chantal

Hey Baby,
I watched trl and i saw them tell everyone about your problem. I am so sorry and i know you can get through this because i just do and i know that if Brian could get through his surgery and Kevin loosing his father than you can definately do it. You guys have gone through so much and i will pray that you get through this quickly because i miss you so much already. I went to the concert on June 29 in Hartford, for a while i hadnt been as obssesive with you as i used to be but after seeing you when you first came out "oh my god" i was going crazy. I cried when i first saw you and i was screaming "A.J. i miss you soooooo much". Well anyway i love you with all my heart and i will hope that you can and will get through this for yourself and your fans! Good Luck! I Love You!
Love Always,
Your Biggest Fan,
Ally!!

Aj,
I think that you are an incredibly strong person. It takes a lot of courage to admit that you have a problem and to go ahead and mend that problem. I wish that you were able to talk to my brother to help him realize that he toohas a problem. The first step is admitting to the problem and he cannot do that. I also know how you feel about your grandma because my grandma died a few months ago. I too suffered from depression, the only difference is I was lucky enough to get through it without harming myself too bad. You are a wonerful, nice, intelligent, gorgeous, and above all TALENTED Man. It would be ashame if you did not acknowledge your problem, but because you have you will help thousands of people cope with their problems, like my brother hopefully. Now you can return to where you should rightfully be, on the stage where you live. All of us look forward to a speedy recovery and and to see you back onstage healthy, happy, and wiser. You have all of us here and your 4 brothers who work with you. I am looking forward to seeing you when my date is rescheduled in September. You are a wonderful person and an awesome role-model. Thank You for helping yourself. I will always keep the backstreet pride alive. I Love You!!~Dina Zalewski (Your #1 fan)

**AJ**As I sit here, thinking about you being ill in a rehab center in an unknown place, I want to cringe, but God bless you for being brave and strong enough to show us the shape of your heart by being honest with the best fans in the world: The Backstreet Boys fans. I admire that and truly appreciate that about you and the rest of the boys being able to talk about this type of situation. AJ, you know the fans very well, and enough so that you can turn to us when you need to be hugged genuinly, and loved deeply. We, the Backstreet fans will always be here for all of you, and I am praying as often as I can for your health and safety. Get well, AJ, then worry about touring again. The tour can wait, not your health. I know what you must be feeling, but your music has helped me through the hardest and loneliest times of my life. Switch your own CD on. You'll see what I mean. Thank you for every thing you've done for me and the millions of your fans. Get better, be happy again!! Hugs, prayers and love to you and the boys. God bless you AJ....
Love always,
(a BSB fan for life)

Dear A.J.: You are a great entertainer and performer. Best wishes to you on getting better. My prayers and thoughts are with you every step of the way.
At first I did not know why Backstreet Boys postponed tour dates. Now that I know I can rest easier. Your health is more important. So I am glad you are getting help. Hope you get well soon, so I can see you,Kevin,Nick,Brian, and Howie on September 10th at the fleetcenter in Boston. Take care of yourself. A huge fan from

Aj,
I can't say that I'm dissapointed in you. I'm actually very proud of you. I have gained a whole new amount of respect for you. The courage you had to admit to your friends and the entire world that you needed help is by far the strongest thing I have ever seen anybody do. They shouldn't refer to you as the bad boy, AJ Mclean. You're not at all, at least not in my eyes. In my eyes I see nothing but bravery and courage. There are so many people of all ages that look up to you all over the world. You have touched every single one of their hearts, as you have touched mine. I'm happy you told the truth to the world beacause you are going to help so many people. I'll make sure I have a spot for you in my prayers everyday. All you need is time, and you'll get better, I promise.

Hey Aj,
I know that this is a very hard thing you have to go through, probably the hardest, but you have millions of fans that are praying for you and in hopes of a safe recover! I am very proud that you are seeking the help. I hope everything works out. I always will be a fan no matter what. Get better soon and hope to see you in concert! I do not know what I would do if there was no Backstreet Boys!
A loving concerned fan,
Melissa
