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 have to report this rollover on your tax return, but you donât pay tax on any income until you take withdrawals from the employer plan. When you roll all the taxable money from the traditional IRA to an employer plan, the amount remaining in the traditional IRA is equal to its basis. That means you can convert the traditional IRA to a Roth without reporting any income.
