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 roll your 403(b) into either a traditional or a Roth IRA. However, as 403(b)s are usually tax-deferred and Roths are not, you will pay taxes on the value of your account when you make the transfer. Rollovers to traditional IRAs, when done correctly, are tax-free.
