iMessage not working

iMessage will not activate even after turning off/on nor will it let me enter my password. All of my apps were randomly signed out.

Apple support directed me to the same help article I already referenced. I waited 24+ hours and that did not work. I deregistered my number and ID from iMessage, and have been able to send/receive messages just as a “text”. I just tried turning iMessage back on, but the same thing happens. It says “waiting for activation...” and when I scroll down and click “sign in with apple ID” (in the iMessage menu) nothing follows, the prompt just disappears.
