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 IRS allows you to borrow money from your Roth (or traditional) IRA without consequences as long as you replace the funds within 60 days of receiving them. The action is considered as a rollover, in this case, from one account to the same account. You can only undertake this rollover once per calendar year per account.
