Accidentally took the Lord's name in vain

[gazellenherde]

Today I was talking and suddenly said [the lord’s name in vain] (a mere accident, I felt extremely bad after it had occurred). I would like to know if I am in a state of mortal sin, and need to go to confession. I am trying to regrow my faith and currently reducing the amount of cursing/inappropriate language. Once again, it happened accidentally.

Thank you for your responses.

In order to be guilty of a mortal sin 3 conditions needs to be present:

1. grave matter
2. full knowledge
3. free will

Obviously 1 & 2 were present in your situation, but 3 most certainly was not. Nothing that is done accidentally can be considered to be freely chosen.
