apple id

I can't change my apple id. It used to have my personal email and now it has my work email which I want to remove and go back to my personal email for my apple it. It's been a few months. It says not available when I try to change it.

Apple hasn’t published any guidance for using an address again. Normally, if your e-mail address was associated with an ID in any way, for example as a Notification email address or a Rescue e-mail address, then it can't be reused with another Apple ID for approximately one year. I have also seen posts that stated Apple told them there was a 30 day waiting period before the address could be used again.
