Have you logged into your ID to see if the email address is listed anywhere?

I am having the same problem. The email on record will no longer be available to me soon. My alternate email (and the one I want to use) is listed after my phone number but says "verify" and when I click the link to verify, it says the email is taken. "No kidding?" says I. Earlier this morning I tried again and it told me that email could not be the same as my ID. I will only have one email soon...what is up with this?
