I was finished a project, I got a merge conflict, so I stupidly ran git reset HEAD^ --hard and now all my files are gone except my node modules folder (which was in .gitignore). Is there anyway I can recover my files?
I'm using VScode

As zerkms well said, you haven't lost everything yet, git closely follows what was done, so you can search for your commit via:
git reflog
And when you find the one that references your lost work just do
git reset --hard <commit-ref>
You can check if your stuff is there by git show HEAD
