I'm not sure if this is psychosis or not?

I'm not exactly sure what's going on yet. Awhile back I started feeling really anxious and exhausted. I went to my doctor for a checkup and everything came back normal. He said that I probably had anxiety.

As time went on the anxiety persisted. I had good and bad days. Then I started hearing voices when I'm about asleep or when waking up. I was also getting really vivid dreams and occasionally nightmares. I went to an ER and they weren't much help. A few days later I went to a walk in Psych Center for an assessment. I was sent home afterwards and they didn't seem to concerned about the voices. They did show me ways on how to cope with stress. I was also referred to counseling if needed.

I thought maybe this would clear up eventually. I never had a mental health issue in the past. What concerns me now is I'm still experiencing these symptoms. I started to worry about schizophrenia or psychosis. I called to get a second opinion recently and I can't get in for several weeks.
