Disaster...please help!

I was working away on a report that I've been building for weeks and many of you have helped me on.  Power BI Desktop crashed and upon restarting the program, I had the AutoBackup ribbon appear.  I clicked on the button to open the backed up file.  Everything looked fine.  I went to "save as..." and selected the normal file name.  I got the warning of "this file already exists, do you want to save over it?" and I selected Yes.  The system crashed again.

 

Upon reopening Power BI again, I selected the file on the startup window and get this error:

What do I do?  Have I lost all of this work for good?
