What is the ruling on delaying the making up of accumulated fasting days due to pregnancy and menstruation, which amount to 19 days from two years ago, and 7 days from last Ramadan, given that I am currently suffering from depression that prevents me from fasting?

A woman must make up for the days she missed due to postpartum bleeding () or menstruation. If begins and she still has missed days to make up, she must make them up after Ramadan, along along with an expiation () for delaying for each day. The mere feeling of hunger or dizziness does not permit abandoning the make-up fast, unless it leads to an unbearable hardship, in which case it is considered an illness that permits delaying the make-up fast until it becomes possible, and there is no expiation then. If there is no hope of recovery and fasting causes an unbearable hardship, it is permissible to resort to feeding a poor person for each day.
