If this happens is it a sin?

[Catherine1]

I had a certain attitude problem that I had gotten quite used to. When I came back to the faith there was a time when I fell into this same problem. I was having a conversation with a person and I caught myself doing this thing, I immediately was frightened by having done it and stopped myself, then a few minutes later I caught myself doing it again and stopped myself. After this second time I made sure to be really careful not to do it again the whole time we talked.

Nothing inadvertent is sin unless we encourage it or do not halt it as best we can when we become aware.

It is still a disorder and depending on how badly it effects people it may be a sin not to do something more about the condition - eg counselling, therapy, medication etc.

Imagine politicians - who pride themselves on that.

You - are blessed - for recognizing a bad fault -
And going after it - to correct it.
Politicians and many others - hardly care about such things.
