Signs I have gotten better are:
1) I've had a pimple on the end of my nose and am not self-conscious about it
2) When I don't get my "to do" list done daily, I allow myself another day to finish it, or just start over instead of obsessing
3) I went to the bank, and made the best I could of the situation, instead of waiting indefinitately and not doing anything, or thinking I could do better and feeling guilty
4) I haven't been accepted at a culinary school, but I can plan meals so we can be nourished properly showing confidence in the kitchen
5) I diagnosed a problem with my computer after a long time, and fixed the monitor by thinking rationally. I thought the monitor was faulty, but after buying a new cable, I found I've entered the wonderful world of actual(not blinking or hallucigenic) colour
6) I'm accepting that each day's goal of socializing doesn't have to ambitious, and I'm recording my success weekly even though it's smaller than my expectation, as I get better at getting out more
7) Rather than feeling helpless about neck caused by my constantly staring at my laptop monitor, I remember a massage therapist's advice to massage my shoulders, as the pain lessens, until I can see the chiropractor again...hopefully ready to shovel snow
8) I found an alternative today when mom was afraid of the escaltor by asking to use the store elevator showing initiative and empathy for her fear
9) A woman smiled at me today at the bank after I grimaced(I was in pain from my neck muscles being sore) and I thought that maybe I could spontaneously learn to smile, since no-one would know I was really in pain
What small signs do you show that you're getting better
