Missing Folders and Catalogs

I am using LR 5.7 in Windows 10. I just added images to a new folder and noticed that the previous folders and catalogs that existed in the left panel are all missing. The only folder showing now is the one I just now added. I always add a new catalog to the left panel with edited photos in it. The same thing here...only the new catalog is showing with all the previous catalogs missing. Under "All Photographs" only the images I just added  are showing...all previous images are not listed.  Is there a  way to recover or move the folders and catalogs back to where they were in the left pane? If I click on Library>Find Missing Photos, it tells me there are no photos missing, All photos  in this catalog are available.  Any suggestions?

    It sounds like you accidentally opened a new catalog. Go to File->Open Recent and select each catalog in taht list until you find the catalog that shows your photos.

    Why are you adding so many new catalogs? One catalog is all that is really necessary.
