adding additional email addresses under Reachable at section of apple id

I accidentally deleted an email under reachable at section and have been trying to add it back, but I keep getting an error message saying 'this email address is not available.' Why am I getting this error when it's my email address? Help please.

You won't be able to add it back until an uncertain period has passed --probably somewhere between 30 days and 1 year, but possibly never. You might want to just use another reachable at address. But, you can contact Apple support to check out the currently quoted wait period.
