Help Phone not turning on?

Alright, so this is probably going to sound wicked stupid, but I was trying to install a cyanogenmod rom and during the process I accidentally hit recover instead of whatever I was trying to hit. This gave me the white HTC 'quietly brilliant' screen but with red text at the bottom that mention something like this mode is for development reasons only and not to distribute it, whatever that means. From there, I couldn't navigate away from it and my phone refused to turn off. I figured I'd jut wait for the charge to run out and go from there. Lo and behold, a few hours later the charge runs out. At least, I think it did. Now, when I plug it in it gives me the blinking red light that you get when the battery is low and the phone refuses to turn on. Sorry if this is confusing to read, I just really want help and I want to be sure I didn't kill it for good or screw it up majorly.
