Yes, intrusive thoughts can be VERY distracting and disruptive. It's best to keep pushing through them (keep doing what you're doing), so you can learn to work through the anxiety. Sometimes you just have to take a break, so make sure what you do is calming but not a compulsion (e.g.: For me, my compulsion is to try to get reassurance from others. So, when I have a lot of obsessive thoughts or anxiety, I avoid calling people for reassurance. I do a meditation or go for a walk or do some yoga until the anxiety passes.) Hope that helps.

I definitely get this ALL the time. When it happens, I am unable to finish my work.
I need to get up then and go lie down for a while and talk to myself how my OCD doesn't even make sense but it never really works. I lose a lot of precious time I could be spending studying seriously. It is very annoying.
