can this be bad for your liver and kidneys???

No sir, won't be bad at all for your liver and kidneys cos the B complex vitamins are water soluble. This simply means that any excess not required by the body will be excreted in your urine. The seemingly high levels of each B vitamin in the type you have bought would simply mean that it is aimed at maintaining high energy levels, ie:- for sportsmen.
A water soluble vitamin also means that the body cannot produce it or store it and therefore it must be replaced daily.
PEACE

I have been taking a B50 complex for years without any noticeable ill effects. I break the tablets in half and take 1/2 in the am and 1/2 in the pm. The riboflavin part does make my urine fluorescent yellow.

I don't think vitamin B and omega fish oil will help you with anxiety, they'll help your skin and hair really and other stuff with your body, no harm in taking them. Anyway, it should say on the box or bottle how much you should take. You don't need anti depressents for anxiety either, whatever causes your anxiety, talking to someone might help.

100 mg. B Complex is actually taken twice daily for people struggling with depression, so this is not a high dosing.
You could actually take 2 with breakfast & 2 with lunch, if you need the extra energy or to ward off depression.
Note that your urine will turn Mountain Dew colored, but don't freak; as this is normal with b vitamins!
