Lost all of my notes

I kept getting a pop up to update my password for my Gmail account in settings. I kept ignoring it but finally went in and updated my password. As soon as I did all my notes I had on my phone were gone. There was a new empty folder for my Gmail notes, but everything I had prior is gone. My iCloud storage is full so when I go to iCloud.con and check notes it’s empty. There is no recently deleted folder on my notes app. How do I get them back?

My notes are not housed in Gmail. What happened is once I updated the password to my Gmail account to my settings, all my notes disappeared. I previously had a ton of notes on my iPhone with no Gmail account ever attached. The email attached to my iCloud and Apple ID is an old hotmail account I have access to, that shows notes still on.



Edit: this is what I see since adding gmail.
