Mastitis has ruined my breastfeeding journey

Hi
I have a 9 month old dd who was ebf until just over a week ago.
i had mastitis the first time when she was around 5 months and the milk supply never came back in that side so we continued one sided nursing successfully.
Now I’ve just had mastitis again on the other side, it was too painful to feed and there was virtually no milk when pumping so she’s had to have formula for 6 days. Now she won’t feed from me at all. She won’t latch, turns away and just isn’t interested.
i feel really sad, I wasn’t ready to stop so suddenly and miss feeding her.
i have got some supply back as I’ve still been pumping but has anyone successfully got a baby back to the breast? How long did it take? Or should I just accept that breastfeeding is over for us?
