Say your wading out into a river... you wade out and fall into water that is over your head.
How would you feel about that? Would you feel slightly overwhelmed?
Being in over your head usually means that the task is too big for you to handle; essentially that it is overwhelming.

I'm in over my head means that you've taken on a task, job, assignment, that is way beyond what you can handle. It's too much for one person to do alone, or just too much for someone that's never done it before. I hope this helped you.

being "in over your head" is an illusion to being in water deeper than you are tall. It's hard work to keep your "head above water"
sometimes it's not even possible because you don't have the skills needed, eg: treading water?

That things have become bigger than you can handle, (over your head) so you feel like you can't tackle the problem.

It means you've taken on more responsibility than you're able to handle... or a task you'll never be able to complete.

It means you are not equipped, or able to handle a problem or situation you are faced with.

It means you're involved in something that you are discovering is more than you are able to handle.

It means that whatever you are tackling its way too much for you, as if you was swimming in water too deep and stuff.

It means that you are overwhelmed or will be and that you aren't able to handle everything in front of you.
