I think most hger's think that they only need this forum while they are pg, but in fact, it can be very beneficial for years to come.
So true. I didn't really post that much when I was actually pregnant. Well, I can't tell you how many posts I wrote, or started, and never actually sent. Lots.
Lisa is dead on. When I finally could acknowledge (couple of months post partum) that I was not OK, I thought, I should just leave these forums. But I decided to stay, and I'm really glad.
My perspective is that it takes about a year to digest your experience with HG. Not only the physical recovery from it, but the emotional recovery. You had plans and dreams and expectations. And you got HG instead. How was your vacation to hell? For me anyway, that's what pregnancy has been like.
I swear some days now, are just as hard as those first and last days of my pregnancy were. Not all of it is related JUST to the HG. I basically just lost my job because of the HG. None of this was in my plan. See I knew I'd get HG again. . . well I hoped I wouldn't but figured I would. I find myself wondering all the time, when will all the fallout from the HG FINALLY be over?
Give yourself time. There's a lot to reflect on. The experience. How you feel about it. What you learned about YOURSELF from it. What you THINK about yourself (and others close to you) from it. Sometimes we feel shocked, or maybe betrayed (by family/friends who weren't there when we needed them), maybe you feel weak or guilty, maybe you feel brave or bold. I've certainly felt all those things, plus a million more.
You do want to keep an eye out for PPD. Go easy on yourself. Don't clobber yourself w/ unrealistic expectations. TIME, will be your biggest aid in your post HG recovery. Life does go on, and in time memories will fade. They'll always be there though. Someday it might not hurt so much.
Believe it or not, someday you might decide to go through it again. No need to make the decision NOW. Like Lisa pointed out- temporary options now are a good idea.
It's a really good idea to write down what you feel. Write down what you remember of your pregnancy while it's still fresh. Write down what you feel about things now. If in a few years you still have that desire to add to your family, you can bring it out and decide then- yes we can do it again, or no we can't. How you feel RIGHT now about what you've been through is perfectly OK. And it may change and be different a year from now.
So that's my advice. Time: One year. Raise your baby. Have your first smile's and laughs and holidays and birthdays. Get into the swing of being a mother. Focus on NOW, the moment you have. Then reflect on HG. HG is such an overwhelming experience, it changes us and challenges us. It takes time to get to know the new you, how you may have changed.
Like have you had a holiday or something, or gone to therapy or counselling 
All this really seems to do it highlight how sick I was. 
DH suggested writing out my story - I have a mixed blessing in that I was so sick I can't remember bits of it. 
as at 6 weeks pp I already want another one. 
as I know if I don't do something soon, they will just eat away at me for the rest of my life.
