This isn't English, it's Psychology. I'm bad at explaining, so I apologize in advance. It depends on the mental illness and how it affects the person. People with depression (think of like, Major Depressive Disorder) have generally lost all the color in life and see the world as a dark and hopeless place. People with schizophrenia see the world in a way that they literally can see/hear/feel things that aren't really there, and can experience events that didn't really happen. People with DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder) or OSDD (Otherwise Specified Dissociative Disorder) or any split personality disorder don't even experience their own life as their own, it's split between people inhabiting the same body. Anyone, their experiences, their traumas, their hopes, and their way of life is completely different. They gotta do things specific to them in order to stay afloat, in order to survive. And it can get pretty dark, scary, and confusing. There's ways to manage, but there's always bad days right along with the good days and they know that. Such is life. Their life. An invisible, internal turmoil that people that don't experience it will never fully understand.
