Stopping breastfeeding, pouring with milk

I've had to make the hard decision to stop breastfeeding after 6 days for the sake of my mental health and have had to stop suddenly. I'm wearing breast pads and wearing a sports bra but I'm wondering if anyone has tips for controlling the amount of leakage, I'm soaked through within about an hour.

I've heard placing cabbage leaves on your chest can dry it up. Also try drinking peppermint tea and have your back faced to the shower head during a shower (read something about hot water stimulating milk production).
