Since you just used the email address you had, you will probably need a different email address. Note the restrictions in the article.


Apple ID Name Change.  * 


 What to do after you change your Apple ID or password - Apple Support  *  I suggest doing this before you change your Apple ID or password.


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, 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.  You will need to get another e-mail address to use as your Apple ID or you can try waiting 30 days to see if that works.
