I was then arrested and took to a police cell and stripped naked and made to bend over by force by male officers while another searched my body inside. It felt like it went on for hours. I felt like I was being raped, it was so terrifying I was scared and I moved to try stop the pain. I was then tied up by my hands and legs naked, and they just carried on searching me.. It was so humiliating I cant seem to know how to get it out of my head.
I complained about it, but as there was no CCTV in the cell, they got away with it.

That was still police brutality and abuse of their power. A lot of abuse happens when there are no witnesses. Then they can get away with everything. that still does not make it right! I am so sorry that happened. I can only imagine what it must have been like---and it is pretty bad, later on. I still have my own body memories of the things that have happened to me. There were no witnesses in my abuse either. Someone, once, at a hospital, when they were asking me about my history, said, "Oh well, if no police were present or witnesses, there was probably no abuse." Like h*ll there wasn't.
you know it happened. You feel it.
I believe you.
Keep posting.
And I hope the help comes thru and you can deal with it in counseling. you deserve to get past this!
