Hard Drive fell, not working now

My hard drive was on a risky place (I know, not responisble), and accidentally fell (maybe less that a foot) on a hard surface. When I try to plug it in, it does weird ticking sounds (if a hard drive can cry honestly that what it would sound like lol).

How screwd am I? can I recover the data myself? Professional and expensive help needed?

Edit - thank you for everyone who commented, much appreciated! i'll look up a recovery company in my area to try and salvage my files
