Filed 2020/2019 Taxes as dependent because I am a fool

An hour ago, I filed as a dependent without knowing that my parents DON'T claim me as a dependent.  I was under the impression it was normal for me to not receive my stimulus check but I realize it's because I've said I'm a dependent for 2019.  Have I lost my chance permanently to get my stimulus check? I feel equal parts embarrassed and annoyed. Any advice would be very greatly appreciated!

The IRS will start processing returns on Feb 12. Until then TurboTax will hold your pending e-filed return. Pending returns can not be changed. If the return is accepted you will get an email. If the return is rejected the e-mail will tell you what to correct and you can make changes before
