InDesign CS6: Cannot open the file ...

Hi there,

 

I think I just blew my file by embedding every picture inside the file. It's a ~130 page long user guide with A LOT of pictures.

 

I saved it successfully a few days ago, and now tried to open it again to finish working with it. But then I get this error:

 

ind_error.PNG

 

I'm a relatively new user to InDesign and didn't think much about it embedding all the stuff.

The file size grew to 11.5 GB. Which is a lot, but I was still able to work quite smoothely while it was open, so I thought everythings fine. System is Windows 7.

 

I've already searched the forums and didn't find any solutions on getting the file working again. Afaik it's the only file I have to use, no backups done. Biggest. Mistake. Ever. I know...

 

...but im positive somebody here might help. Thank you.
