A) why would you assume it actually happened if a simpler explanation is that you imagined it and are developing mental illness.

Because there would be others corroborating it.

And assuming you believed what had happen to you, how would you convey this knowledge to another person besides simply telling them and hoping they believe you?

OT miracles weren't limited to one person at a time. They were witnessed by many and they left verifiable, tangible evidence.
