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 recharacterization allows you to âundoâ or âreverseâ a rollover or conversion to a Roth IRA. You generally tell the trustee of the financial institution holding your Roth IRA to transfer the amount to a traditional IRA (in a trustee-to-trustee or within the same trustee).
