Any tips on how to study with OCD? The rumination makes it impossible when I want to memorise stuff

I imagine my ocd as a little annoying creature, and I tell him "I see you. I know you want me to ruminate right now but I need to study. I'm gonna place you in the corner of the desk now. You can be mad and make a ruckus and I'll let you be there. But I'm going to study now. " This has gotten me through board exams.
@akshu Personaly it destroyed my student life but i tell anyone to not give up 🙌🏻
Put some headphones in and listen to some music, also taking meditation breaks and focusing on square breathing helps.
@MikuChan22 Whar r the square breathing plz ?
@Joyas You can look it up on youtube there's plenty of resources there, but basically what it is is a breathing technique used for anxiety to help ground and focus your attention on your breathing. You breathe in for 4, hold for 4 breathe out for 4 hold for 4 and repeat. Helps me alot
@MikuChan22 Thank u 🤍
