I think what you are possibly saying is that you feel as though you are being fake because you are depressed and don't feel optimistic but you help other depressed people to be optimistic - I see that in two different ways and it is something that I am evaluating for myself as I often feel that way myself. Firstly - a medical practitioner (doctor) is not always well themselves yet they still treat other people for their illnesses. Being unwell themselves doesn't mean they can't appropriately diagnose and know what the appropriate treatment is for unwell patients. It's not hypocritical to know the answer for someone's needs even though you may not feel wonderful yourself.
Secondly - What better person to treat someone else than someone who can empathize by their own experience. What better way to help yourself than to help others through the same thing.
You know the answer to feeling better - but application of the remedies is not as easy as knowing what the remedy itself is. It doesn't make you a fake just because you are going through a 'bad patch' at the moment. You will learn a great deal from this experience of depression. Life is hard at times and getting through those hard times is what psychology is all about - can you see that this experience will help you greatly in the future if depression and optimism is what you want to be helping others with.
