Help app button only showing recent?

hi there. this is my first post. it's also my first droid, but i've had it for about half a year now, so i'm not quite sure whether to feel dumb that i can't figure this out, or if it is the phone somehow screwing up.

you know how when you long-hold the home button, it shows your most recent apps? well now that is happening to me when i press the touchscreen button that used to show my whole app library.

not only can i not seem to get it to switch back to the regular function, i can't even figure out how to access any app that isn't "recently used"!

and the strangest part of all? i didn't do anything to make this happen. i literally fell asleep last night with the phone working fine, then this morning it just apparently decided on its own to let me access only my recent apps. please help!!
 
never mind, i figured it out. i had to watch a video on youtube to see what to do since my mom and her phone are 100+ miles away.

you just have to click the little drop-down arrow to the left of recent apps and it brings up a menu that includes "all apps".
