I've tried to undo a totally stupid, terrible mistake which was doing a system restore which deleted EVERYTHING, or should I say MY WHOLE LIFE !! Please if it can be fixed I'll gladly make it worth your time and trouble by letting you shop in my ebay store for deep discounts and free shipping...

What you need is a data rescue program. I haven't used them very often myself, but you can search for "Undelete" and find results like
this,
this or
this.
If no program works and the data is really important, you might want to consider a professional company restoring your data. Apparently the can nearly always restore at least 80-90% of the deleted Files. However, that will cost you quite a lot.
One last hint: As long as the data isn't restored, save as little as possible on the drive, as that could overwrite the stuff, that you want restored even more.

PS.: Thanks, but normally help here is free and I don't think, I'll buy anything from your ebay shop. No offence, but your stuff isn't quite "my style"... :-D
