Self-Harm

I was washing dishes and I opened my mouth and soap went in,i decided to swallow. I think I opened my mouth on purpose and swallowed it. Is this self harm? Is what I did a mortal sin? Or am I just being scrupulous?

There’s doing something a bit daft, and there’s actually meaning to harm yourself. If you make a habit of it, you need to seek some help. I don’t think it actually rises to the level of mortal sin at present, even if you did it intentionally. It’s not a serious enough item.

Most soaps won't hurt you, so it's not a mortal sin, and probably not any kind of sin. But don't stray too far from the bathroom...
