I know this sentence mean:
Everything is too much for me.
But my question is about the "das alles". It doesn't make sense since it means "the everything". Please explain me what's the reason for that.

Actually a better translation of das alles would be all that and it can also be rearranged in German to All das as presented by @infinitezero.– guidot ♦Jun 19, 2020 at 12:01

Here das is not an article but a demonstrative pronoun (Demonstrativpronomen). So the proper literal translation is
this/that all is getting too much for me
You can rephrase it, so it becomes more apparent
All das/dies wird mir zu viel

The "alles" doesn't make sense here. It doesn't have the translation of "everything" here. Does it mean "entirely"? Jun 19, 2020 at 21:19

Ok let me rephrase the original German sentence. Das wird mir "alles” zu viel. What is "alles" doing here? Jun 20, 2020 at 19:59
