Subject: LET’S TALK – PLEASE
I am a law abiding, tax paying citizen. I have never
protested, caused a disturbance. I haven’t even gotten a speeding ticket. This
is my problem.
To the news establishments I am boring. I don’t cause
trouble for others. I follow all the laws yet, I suffer everyday, in silence.
Your company says, “Let’s Talk”! I would love to. I think what I have to share
is invaluable to others, dealing with mental health issues.
My story of how I went from healthy to suffering with
anxiety and major depression is an easy one to follow but complicated in the
facts. My story is normal, but not. My story deals with work place issues but,
not the ones you would normally associate with a job. Simple but deeply complex
is how best to describe my journey thus far.

Because my medical problems are not headline grabbing, no
media outlet is interested. Yes, they are compassionate and do understand my
pain but, it is not news worthy enough for them. It is so sad to hear their
understanding and compassion yet having to tell me no to getting my message
out.
I was a VIP heavy transport pilot in the Canadian Military.
I flew the Prime Minister and Prince Charles among others. My proudest moment
was being the pilot who flew, “The Unknown Soldier” home from France to Canada.
I worked for years saving lives doing search and rescue and many UN missions.
It is all gone now. I have lost everything; my honour,
dignity and career. It is a very long and difficult road back to health. I have
a name. I have a true story. Can you please help me get the information out so
that others might benefit. Thank you for your time and consideration of my
request.
Please give consideration to my story. It will help Veteran’s and all
Canadians, understand.
Michael Cole
