Premiere Pro Crashes and won't load project timelines. Is my work gone?

This is the second time this has happened to me. My video so far is only 5 minutes long. However, Adobe Premiere Rush constantly crashes, and after it crashes more than once, I'll reopen my projects, only for nothing to show up. No video, no timeline, nothing. It doesn't even give me the option to add new stuff to the timeline. It's like Premiere Rush refuses to load the projet. I am extremely frustrated at this programs lack of ability to handle a basic 5 minute video and am very upset at the possibility I'll need to start this project all over agian for the 3rd time because of this. Any help on how to recover this project would be much appreciated. Thanks!
