Help Recover PSD file

Question

Hi,
I opened my PSD file this morning that I was working on the past few weeks & was shocked to see this instead. I have restarted the photoshop but still the file comes out like that. Can someone please explain what happened to my file & help me recover it?
Thanks!

This is something you could try to recover a JPG from the PSD
Copy and paste the script into ExtendScript Toolkit
This gets installed with Photoshop and can be found:-
<hard drive>/Applications/Utilities/Adobe Utilities
Start Bridge and select the PSD
From ExtendScript toolkit run the code F5 or (Debug - Run)
It will then try to extract the fullsize cache thumbnail if that isn't there it will try to get the next size (preview) and write the jpg
to the desktop with a filename of "recovered.jpg"
#target bridge
function main(){
var thumb = app.document.selections[0];
var sourceBitmap = undefined;
//Try and get fullsized document.
sourceBitmap = thumb.core.fullsize.fullsize;
if( !sourceBitmap || sourceBitmap.width == undefined || sourceBitmap.width == 0 )
{ //No fullsize so try and get preview size
   sourceBitmap = thumb.core.preview.preview;
app.synchronousMode = false;
if( !sourceBitmap || sourceBitmap.width == undefined || sourceBitmap.width == 0 )
   alert("Sorry can't get cache pic");
            return;
var exportFile = new File( Folder.desktop + "/recovered.jpg" );
sourceBitmap.exportTo( exportFile,  100);
main();
