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.
The rollover options for a Roth 401(k) follow those of a traditional 401(k). That is, you can roll the funds over to an IRA or into a new employer's 401(k). Just like the distribution of a traditional 401(k) is moved into a traditional IRA, the distribution from a Roth 401(k) rolled into a Roth IRA.
