Mass Effect 3 deleted, Origin service fails terribly, is there anything I can do?

I wonder if anyone can help me with this subject.

After I updated Origin (it was an update a bit over 70 Megabytes), Mass Effect 3 was suddenly gone from my library and instead of it, the "Sims 3 Late Night Expansion pack" popped out of nothing and is ready for download, though I had nothing to do with it before.

When I now try to open ME3 from its own Quick Launch Icon, I am asked to type in my key, but when I do, I am told that this key is already in use.

So, great... They mistook my game for another one and now the access is gone (I have a physical copy of it, the game is still installed on the hard drive, Origin just won't let me open it).

When I tried to consult the chat, a white box appeared and nothing else, and that for about half an hour. So this one is not working for me which is pretty strange, as I had no ad blockers enabled and even shut my security program down for a second try.

So as I am also able to write in German, I looked into the German page, where you can request help by e-mail (which is strangely not offerd in English, but whatever...)

But after I typed in my problem, I was told that my request will be answered within 14 days!

But not enough, when I returned to this page today, the option "resume conservation" is available at this one and I can choose that e-mail request thing again, so I don't even know if my complaint arrived there at all!

So, sorry if this got a bit too long, but does anyone how to proceed in this situation?

I am very annoyed about Origin and would like to smash everything around me to tiny little pieces, but I think that goes without saying.

    Hi, for your main issue, I strongly suspect that you have logged into a separate account from the one you were using previously. Has there been any change to your friends lists?

    Try logging in with any alternative email addresses that you use, and then check your My Games for your copy of ME3.

    Another method is to contact support, who can help you in finding the right account, but you mention that's giving you trouble too. Can you try a different browser, ideally Chrome if you aren't already, and check if you can get a functioning chat window?

    I logged in with my usual email adress, never stated another to Origin, chat still not working for me, game for which I paid is still the wrong one.
