How do i recover an unsaved file from Microsoft word when my autosave is off?

Hello friends, I was writing my final paper for the semester on Microsoft word v 16.20 on a mac realizing my autosave was off and all my applications closed and now i have no way of retrieving that previous document. 😞 I've looked through all my temp files, recovery files and even used the terminal open $TMPDIR and even downloaded a Data recovery and nothing seems to work. please help me, I'm pretty desperate at this point, and sad haha. any help is gladly appreciated. <33
