 HCIU gives you 4 ways to cope after losing that jerk.Â
1.    Find comfort in your Friends.
Believe it or not ladies, your most reliable and dependable group after a break up are my best friends. They give you the best of both worlds; comfort and trash talk. Friends are a shoulder to cry on and also give you a good trash talk session. Yes, we’re guilty of saying the most obscure things about our exes, but in all reality, doesn’t it make you feel 100x better when someone else agrees?
2.    Lose the items that remind you of him.
Jewelry, clothes, pictures, whatever objects you thought were sentimental but really have no value anymore…pitch them. Have a “burn the memories party” with your girlfriends. It may sound extreme but it’s just one way to cope. Every girl exudes her inner rage after the initial “crying for a week straight” phase. But trust us, having objects that remind you of him will just hurt you in the long run.

3.    Ditch the Social Media.
Yes, social media is the legal form of stalking these days, but really who doesn’t Facebook stalk? My advice, delete the ex from Facebook and Twitter. HCIU has been VERY guilty of “stalking” an ex on Facebook and trust us…it sucked. So delete him. You don’t want to know what he is really doing on a Thursday night, even though it might seem ok to look, chances are it will upset you.
4.    Weeks Per Month.
Our theory on grieving is the weeks per month method. You can obsess/cry/sob/throw objects/ and drunkenly reminisce for as many weeks as you dated in months. For example, you dated for 8 months, you are allotted 8 weeks of grieving. It’s a great way to get over him and to know when it’s time to go out and meet the next Mr. Right Now.
Ladies, things happen for a reason. HCIU is a firm believer in that. Your ex just paved the way for the Mr. Right to come into your life. So next time you think “he was the one!” or “how am I going to survive without him?” Just follow these coping mechanisms and we promise, it does get better.Â
