Clutch Pedal Help!

Something is up with my clutch pedal there is so much play it sinks a good 3/4's with no resistance to it. This started happened this week once and I stalled the car cause the clutch pedal wasn't popping back out at me. I left it up with my foot and it went back to normal (~ one inch of play and full resistance). Right now on my way to the gym I felt the pedal sink in. When I got here I tried to see what the deal was but it's a small fit down there I'll have to take a look when I get home.

Any idea on what maybe wrong? At the moment I can still shift gears, there is however there is so much sink/play on the pedal something has to be wrong. I'll take a video of it when I get home maybe give you guys a better idea of what I mean incase it sounds confusing but it really isn't.

Thanks for the help, sorry for grammar I'm on the iPhone.

I'm guessing the fluid for the pedal is on the top right if your looking at it from the hood open. Well the fluid is barely at half. What is this bleeding you speak of.

bleeding the clutch it easy,but you will need 2 people

have a friend sit in the car, pump the clutch, then hold it to the floor
you stand outside the car and put a wrench on the bleeder which is located on the slave cylinder, crack it open when the pedal is to the floor, when the fluid stops coming out, tighten it back up and repeat until the pedal feels better

Yea I'm at about half way. Anyway you could link me to the diy sounds like me and my pops or the tow guy can do it ourselves. I just have no idea what the cylinder looks like. I'm on my iPhone writing this up.

Thanks for all the help guys, got it towed to the shop and by the grace of god it was free too some lady stopped by and asked if i needed AAA after I had just called the local towing company, such kind people out there. She shaved $60 off the total funds spent to fix this. Thanks again everyone.
