Numbness is, in some ways, a symptom of a symptom.. Your anxiety is causing stress and possibly hyperventilation, which in turn is causing physical or emotional numbness. That's why it's so important to take advantage of recommended treatment options. There are a few things you can do right away:
1 Roll over a traditional 401(k) into a traditional IRA, tax-free. 2  Roll over a Roth 401(k) into a Roth IRA, tax-free.  Roll over a traditional 401(k) into a Roth IRAâthis would be considered a Roth conversion, so you'd owe taxes.
You can now convert directly from a 401(k) to a Roth IRA, without the trouble of rolling over to a traditional IRA first. And if you have any after-tax contributions in your 401(k) or similar employer-based retirement plans, such as a 403(b) or 457 plan, you can roll over those funds directly to a Roth IRA tax-free.ut in the same situation with the new 401(k) rules, the full $6,000 converted from your 401(k) to a Roth IRA would avoid tax. Depending on your planâs rules, you may not be able to roll over the after-tax contributions until you leave your job.
