I'll probably try cleaning since my apartment is a mess anyways. I suppose it may serve as a distraction -- although I'm feeling very suspicious of people's intentions right now and that's been nagging me in the back of my mind.

It's been suggested this might be a discontinuation symptom. Might be.
Alternatively, it could be cycling because you've come off a med that's helping to keep you stable. This pattern has happened with you before and more than once. I'm trying to remember what you are on currently. Was it just an AD and ritalin? I remember you wanting that combo, (despite it being a recipe for disaster). I know how you feel about APs, but it seems you go off the rails without one onboard. Paranoia has already started, I hope you can nip this in the bud.
In terms of alleviating anxiety, I'm a big fan of distraction, which for me usually involves watching dvds, especially funny ones. I like cleaning too. In fact, when I'm anxious, like say, someone is coming to my place, I'm always to be found in cleaning mode, lol. Even if they're only popping by for a very short time.

Do you have some electronics to fiddle with? If you're too anxious to go outside, maybe you could just do jumping jacks indoors. With so many noisy neighbors, they've got no business minding a bit of noise from you for a change!
How are you doing today?
