Claimed dependent by accident

I accidentally claimed myself as a dependent, but my parents did not claim me in their taxes. In 2018 i did not claim myself as a dependent. Will I still be eligible for a stimulus check or will I have to amend my taxes?

    If you said that you could be claimed as a dependent, you will not be eligible for the stimulus payment.
