Recover account when icloud email and apple id are same, and lost access to both.

My applied is the same as my icloud email. When I try to recover password using forgot password for apple id, it sends forgot password and icloud email, which essentially is the same (for which I an trying to recover password). I also lost answers to secret questions. How do I recover my icloud account?

Appreciate any help in this matter.

Thanks.
