Turning 18 under medicaid, how long will I still have insurance, do I have to apply? I’m confused please help

I’ve turned 18 in January and I’m sooooo confused about my Medicaid healthcare insurance if anyone can answer my questions that would be greatly appreciated because I am terrified of making phone calls to social services as I have bad anxiety and my mother has often talked about how they’re “assholes”. Anyways I apparently still have Medicaid after turning 18 because I’ve gone to the doctors and medicaid has covered a prescription for glasses and other things, but my mother told me i have to apply for medicaid before the end of September since I’m 18 now I have to be on my own insurance instead of on hers because she’ll have to pay for it and I won’t if I put myself on my own insurance, this also confuses me. But I’m so confused about applying because when I go to my states website they provide applications online but none of them apply to an 18 year old who’s still on Medicaid I’m confused on if I need to apply or if I’m good for whatever age, I live in South Dakota and the applications they provide are for parents applying for insurance for their family and pregnant women, and I’m not pregnant or have a family, and I’ve looked all over for people on Medicaid turning 18 there’s no information for you and what to do so I’m just in the dark on if I will still have insurance or for how long I will still have insurance and if I need to fill out an application to stay on health insurance, and where to find that application or what type of application I’m supposed to fill out.
