Just to be sure, I decided to add my mobile number to my account to add two-step verification. As soon as I added my number and verified the PIN they texted, my account was disabled and they requested I upload a government ID to prove who I was and requested that I do a social verification with a bunch of random photos to verify my friends.
I'm confident I got 100% of the tagged photos right but it keeps going in an infinite loop even though I finish tagging everything correctly (5/5 each time). Eventually it said I exhausted all my verification, essentially getting me nowhere.
I took a picture and uploaded my ID but I'm curious how long this process actually takes and why my account would be flagged by adding my number (a number I previously had on my Facebook account before).
Anyone who works at Facebook or dealt with this knows? As of right now my entire account is disabled and even a friend looking me up can't access my page or anything. This also means I can't access messenger or anything else utilizing my FB login.

Chances are that someone hacked your account as well if you had a password reset that you didn't make.
Trying to verify your friends is hard because some of them don't use their face in their profile pictures but use some other picture instead. Also some people add users that they don't know for the games and sharing gifts each day.

Reasons for disabling an account:
Continued prohibited behavior after receiving a warning or multiple warnings from Facebook
Unsolicited contact with others for the purpose of harassment, advertising, promoting, dating or other inappropriate conduct
Use of a fake name
Impersonation of a person or entity, or other misrepresentation of identity
Posting content that doesn't follow the Facebook Terms
Facebook doesn't even give you a warning sometimes. Chances are someone reported you for some violation.
