I feel so guilty!

So my son weaned himself off my breast at 4 months old. He would turn his head away and scream and cry. I tried so hard for a week and nothing. I switched to pumping but my milk supply has gone way down and I'm sure it's because he's not feeding from my breast. Also I went to the doctor and found out that my thyroid is extremely slow and that will cause a major drop in milk supply as well. My doctor suggests I stop pumping so I can regain my strength and get my body and hormones back to normal. My goal was to breastfeed him for at least 6 months. I feel so terrible about this and awful that I can no longer physically provide my precious son with the best. I feel like a total failure.
