What you are feeling is pretty normal. I have been down a few times. Some slow speed, once at 75mph. Good quality proper riding gear is worth its weight in gold when you need it, as you found out.
Take the time to just clear your head and let it pass. You managed to walk away with a few bumps and scrapes, which is great news to hear.
Usually a persons first encounter with a decent crash or close call is the make it or break it point for riding. When I wrecked on the highway at 75 it took me a few weeks until I was able to get back on a bike. I can't live without it, so I accept the risk and do everything I can to minimize it.
