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.
A Roth IRA conversion is accomplished by rolling over your assets directly between trustees of the SIMPLE IRA and Roth IRA. You should roll over your assets directly (trustee-to-trustee transfer) due to the IRS implementing the IRA one-rollover-per year rule.
