AJ - I think it was very brave of you to admit to the guys, your fans and most importantly to yourself that you needed help. That alone shows that you are a pretty terrific guy. But you must know that you never have to worry about our support. I love you AJ!

Philippians 4:13 says: I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Always remember that and you can get through any thing.
The news was told a little over 2 hours ago. I couldn't believe it when I heard it. I have had tears in my eyes ever since. I know this is a hard time for you, your family, the guys, and the fans. But you can get through this. Everyone is here to support you no matter what. Just remember you did the biggest part already and that's relizing that you have a problem. Take as much time as you need to get better, we will be here waiting when you are, no matter how long it takes. I will have you in my prayers and thoughts everyday as you go through this and even after.
To the rest of the guys, I have you in my thoughts and prayers too. I know that you will be there supporting AJ and that you will send him all the love you can from you and the fans. Hang in there and in the end it will all work out. Nick make sure you take care of that hand and get it better.
Just put everything in God's hands.

AJ,
I just wanted to let you know that I was saddened greatly when I heard the news. I am one of your biggest fans and the greatest thrill of my life was getting to talk to you and get a hug from you, even though it only lasted 5 seconds. I hope you know that I will pray for a speedy recovery everynight, while listening to "Black & Blue." I know that you are a strong person and you will come back from this and be even better then before. I will be counting down the days to your return to the stage. PS: my mom said get well soon,too!!

I suffered through depression too. I know how hard it is to admit that there is something wrong and to get help. It took me 4 years to do so. I am proud. Good Luck on recovery. hugs kisses n moosetracks icecream

Dear AJ,
I am sooooo sad to hear what you are going through. But I am really glad that you stepped up and said you needed help. I am praying for you 24/7, so you are in my prayers and thoughts even after you get better. I mean after I heard the news on TRL and seen Kevin start to cry I was just so heartbroken and then they played that clip of you singing. When you started to cry I just broke down in tears b/c I hate it that this is happening to you, but I know that you will get better soon. Just know that your fans will be praying for each and everyday for your recovery. You can pull through this!:)

if you have ever had depression before you might no that it is really hard to stand up and ask for help. i admire him so much for that. so many things led to his depression.. amanda, his grandmother, always being away from home.. that just a couple. i always knew that he was depressed and i wa sok with that b/c i was too. brian helped me out of that depression, but i am afraid i am falling into it again for multiple reasons. today, to hear and see my boys literally crying on tv made me break down. i still cannot liek see the screen. people say i have a flare for writing n that my words always touch ppls hearts.. i wrote a poem inless than a minute becuase so much emotion and feeling went into it. i wish he or one of them could read it.. here it is:
as i sit here in front of the tv screen,
i no thru my blurry eyes,
the only thing i can see is you
memories of sadness and bunched into a thought
thoughts of happiness scarcley fluttering around
where will this all end?
will our love succeed?
will i still be left standing at the end?
your happiness is all i want..
and for that id give my soul sharp pains of thought kill my heart,
but you are the only ones still standing strong
tears of lifeless thoughts cloud our minds
about the future
when will this all end?
will our love succeed?
for your happiness id give my soul... just get better if n e one wants to email me, and talk email me at briajlvr23@aol.com until then.. god bless everyone and aj, we are really worried about you.. please get better.. you are so brave and always remember we (the fans) will never leave your side even it everyone else does. we're always here for you.. remember that baby..

AJ,
Maybe I nor any of the Backstreet Boys fans can understand what your going through and maybe some of us are proud that this is the decision that you made and that when you did make this decision you are willing and ready to take care of yourself and put less pressure of what you are going through. Though when i did find out it was very tearful i cried but then that’s when I tried saying to myself" He will be all right, he will be all right" and once you do get over this abuse and depression you'll know that no matter what you do all the Backstreet Boys fans will help you along the way and hopefully your fellow band mates, Nick, Brian, Kev and Howie are also willing to help you. I have been your fan ever since you guys came out and all I’m going to do and what I’m going to do as long as I remember you guys is to support all of you...and it doesn’t matter who my fave bsb is because this group that you guys have formed are the Backstreet Boys not just "brian" or "nick" which means by helping one Backstreet Boy I am helping the whole group. AJ I wish you the best and that you had the strength to come up front about your problem and that everyone may help you through thick and thin.
AJ, I and the rest of the bsb fans hope u recover soon so that well see 5 guys performing as a successful group!!!I love all of you!!
