Email account hacked and filling out formular for password reset – doesnt recognize me as original owner.

Hello there. Yesterday i noticed i couldnt log in on my email account *** Email address is removed for privacy *** and i have tried so many times to log that the only conclusion could be that its hacked and password changed by a foreign intruder. Please help me get it back, i use that email for basically everything, from Steam to the email my university has on me. I cannot remember the answer to the secret question and i have tried many times filling out the formular for password reset- But it doesnt recognize me as the owner and therefore i am stuck.
