I am a massive over supply mum and I hate it - I am constantly leaking and my breasts are always engorged. I feel my whole life is either devoted to DL baby or pumping milk. How do I handle this?

How old is your child? Our milk supply will usually stabilize once baby is around 6 months, that is when they are taking in solids and the milk demand gets lesser. Milk supply will generate when there is the demand(DL/ Pump) For now, avoid milk boosters or any food that may be a milk booster. After latching, do not pump out the excess milk, this pumping is sending signals to your body to produce more milk for the baby. thus you are getting engorge easily. If baby isnt with you all the time( Working mum) , scedule the pumping session at a 3-4hrly interval according to your baby's feeding scedule. This way, your body will be producing the sufficent amount of milk for your baby.
