Concern for Nick's wellbeing was raised in March when he admitted that he has been contemplating suicide following Bobbi Kristina's hospitalisation.Troubled Nick made the confession during an interview with Dr. Phil McGraw. When asked if he had thought about taking his own life he replied: "If anything happens to Krissy, I will."Nick also opened up to the doctor about the "severe pain, mental anguish and panic attacks" he has experienced since his friend discovered Bobbi Kristina in a bathtub in late January.As well as discussing his 22-year-old love, Nick also expressed his pain at having lost his adoptive mum Whitney Houston – who was also his partner Bobbi's mother. "I lost the most legendary singer ever and I'm scared to lose Krissy," he said. "I want to let all you guys know I did everything possible in the world to protect them. I can't lose Krissy, I can't. I've been praying. I wake up in the middle of the night.
