My comments disappeared, is there a way to get them back?

I spent some time annotating text on an article and adding comments to it. I saved it and I made sure the comments were still seen when I clicked on the pdf from my downloads. When I went back to it the next day, all the comments were gone. The highlighting is still there but I can't find a way to look at my comments. I even tried using ctrl + z to undo it and see if the comments return but it's all gone. Is there some way to get it back or are they gone forever?

So the first highlight is an example of what my comments looked like, the second highlight just shows what my thing is now because the comments disappeared. When you hover over the comment thing at the beginning of the highlight, you see the comment.

I have it shared with one other person, It is saved on my personal computer though. It opens in a web browser.
