How do I recover Notes if I never made a backup? Not in recently deleted folder either.

I turned off my laptop and when I turned it back on, 6 years of Notes were deleted. Nowhere to be found. Gone without a trace. Used 4 different file recovery softwares only to learn that they were buried somewhere in my harddrive, but I could only "see" the pictures from them, but not the text. I managed to recover some of the pictures but NONE of the text. 6 years of writing gone in an instant. What the **** is up with this App? Is there any way for me to get the notes back? It's kind of a big loss...

Help?
