Instagram deactivated my account having 27.5k followers without any warning

My Instagram name is @_all_things_real_ and I had a base of 27.5k followers. I have been so much loyal to Instagram since I started out about 5 years ago. This Saturday when I tried to check my notifications, I discovered that my account was deleted without a warning.
I was literally shocked because I have not violated any guidelines. My mom and I was going through the Internet like crazies trying to find a reason why Instagram deactivated my account.




Then I realized something! People have been abusing the "report" button. I built my profile from scratch and it obviously affects my career as a blogger. Instagram doesn't even have an email address or something. I contacted them saying it was a mistake, have not heard from them since.
I am so heartbroken right now. I can't fathom the thought of my blood sweat going to hell. All those hours of work I put in my posts! This is just so disappointing.
When Instagram gives everyone the power to abuse the report button, I guess this was bound to happen. 






I have no clue what to do next. I won't even bother starting a new page because I just feel dead disappointed right now.
Some of my friends said Instagram was facing a bug issue where people's profiles are getting deleted without a reason. That maybe the case but at least give us some kind of a warning! Or a quick resolve. When fellow competitors are so bitter with hatred, the report button suddenly becomes a weapon. 



Something similar happened with my friends account too, she hasn't been able to get it back. God knows what will happen next. My faith on INSTAGRAM is totally shook.
I never violated a single Instagram rule! I always posted my beauty blog pictures or my personal selfies. See for yourself.



I request Instagram to give me my account back. 


I didn't have a Facebook page, so my account was personal and not a business one. I participated in few giveaways and sweepstakes and I think my competitors reported against me. That is so vile. I even blocked certain spam accounts to prevent them from spamming my feed. But still, how can Instagram discard my hard work like it was nothing?
Let's see what happens.


Update : after several emails I recovered my account 24 hours later
