Mamas, I need support...

I haven't produced enough milk to breastfeed exclusively since my baby was a week old. She was losing weight and we were forced to start supplementing formula. My milk supply has decreased steadily since then. Fast forward 2 months and I'm not even producing an ounce a day. I've taken every supplement, tried every routine, and spoken to every consultant. I accepted that breastfeeding had become more about bonding than anything else and I was okay with that. I started work back yesterday and now I don't even have that. I'm done. I can't breastfeed anymore and I'm shattered over it. This was a bond that only I had with her and those moments spent breastfeeding not for nourishment, but just for bonding were some of the sweetest moments of my life. I'm continuing to dry up, only producing mere drops and to say that I'm heartbroken is an understatement. I'm devastated and having the most difficult time coming to terms with this. I don't want to give up but I feel like I'm just bailing water out of a sinking boat. I'm just prolonging the inevitable. It will happen eventually. I will dry up completely. Please give me some words to help me through this.
