I accidentally hit recovery instead of reboot. I tried to hit the back before it started. Now everything has reset. All my contacts, apps and everything on my SD card is gone. Is there a way I can get it back???

If you have a band backup then yes. If you don't and you wiped then nope.
 
I thinks he's using stock recovery, because just hitting recovery will take you to a menu w/ anything else

Everything on your sd card shouldn't be gone, check again ;) as for the apps go on the desktop version of android market on a computer and go to my apps from there you should be able to send all your apps to your phone for download :D and your gmail contacts should be saved to your gmail account which once you sign in just sync. Anything else?

I thought for Gmail you had to check for the option to sync
 
You dont HAVE to sync to Gmail always. I sync my contacts once a month or so, so I have them all there and aer current in case something happens to my phone. Other wise I keep sync off. Helps save battery life with it off.

Yeah but what I'm saying is, if you add a gmail account, does it give you the option to "sync with this phone or account"? I never remember doing this and yet my contacts are on my gmail. And i turned off sync due to hogging like 5% of my battery. it bothered me a lot .-.

You go into the menu once you sign into gmail and select sync contacts ;) most of the time when you first set up the phone after a reset it has autosync on anyways
