Sounds like either a badly worn clutch, or a hydraulic problem in the clutch actuation circuit.

How many miles are on your clutch? I'd also check to make sure you don't have any hydraulic leaks anywhere possibly.

The clutch , pressure plate, or slave cylinder could be bad. Check the slave cylinder out first and look for down by the transmission connection. How many miles.
