Please help me out.

12 months PP, child is 10 months adjusted and on prescribed formula for 2 feeds a day. I've been dealing with an undersupply the last 2ish months which likely started due to a nipple injury. Bubs is getting one extra bottle of formula. Formula kept my baby healthy so trust me I don't hate but I want her to have more of my milk but I have a scab that. Just. Won't. Heal. I've tried lanolin during pumping, nursi care pads between sessions, I've gone several flange sizes up and they all cause damage, I've dropped a session despite my undersupply and it still. Just. Won't. Heal. No stash left.

I used to have an oversupply and thought I'd easily make it to 2 years with 2 PPD after 1 year corrected but here I am. How cruel is this journey that I didn't choose to start and I can't choose to end on my own terms, not really. I'm bleeding from my nipple, in constant pain and I still don't want to stop. I want to feed her until she's 2. What do I do? Would you continue? I'm making about 8 oz a day what a joke it feels like
