Can you tell us if your collections are missing from the Collections panel, or is the Collections panel itself missing? If the latter, that's easily fixed.....go to the menu bar>Window>Panels>click on Collections.

But if the panel is showing do you see your collections with a zero count, or are they simply not showing? Are you sure you are using the correct catalog, i.e. apart from the collections issue does everything else appear normal?

Start by resetting the preferences: https://www.lightroomqueen.com/how-do-i-reset-lightrooms-preferences/

If that does not help, try if you can create collections in a new catalog, because your catalog may be corrupted.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
