Cutting through the noise to the most important point...

... OP would be a lot more credible if she had at least tried, and then concluded that nursing was not for her.

This is because breast milk is truly the undisputed better choice, and it's right there and easy to attempt. If it doesn't work, there's nothing easier than to grab a bottle and formula-feed! My mother tried to breastfeed and it didn't work, so I was formula-fed. I breast-fed my son until I had to take an emergency radioactive exploratory treatment, which meant stopping breastfeeding cold turkey that day in the ER. These things happen, no one is to blame.

But not even trying shows the deep-rooted anxiety that are crippling OP and forcing her to pick a certain path in life. It's a little sad she cannot or will not seek treatment for her fight or flight mindset. I can only hope that she realizes that mindset will lead to more questionable decisions in the future, if she doesn't so something about it.
