On February 19, 2021, I woke up to discover that my Instagram account had been disabled. 

It's weird because I had only been posting once a week (besides stories) and I've never had a comment or post flagged. The message on my account says that it's been disabled for breaking their terms of service -which I'm quite certain I have not done. 

This solidifies the importance of having an email list.

I will keep up you updated along my journey to getting my account back. I've read instances where is can take hours- months to recover (one person waiting 8 months).
