Sounds like a faulty clutch master cylinder.:)

still learning about toyotas but could just be the slave cylinder which cost like 25 n is pretty quick n simple to replace

It may be the master cylinder as James mentions, but first check the simple stuff.

The clutch pedal itself, spray some lube, wd40 or similar onto its pivot bearing and linkage, and also check the return spring is doing its job not broken / weak / disconnected.

There is a plunger on the pedal assembly that goes into the clutch cylinder, these often squeak and a typical cure is a spray of white grease, which is rubber safe, down the plunger - it could be partly seized so the spring is not strong enough to return the pedal.

Your foot force when pressing down is a very high pressure, many times more than the force of the return spring

You can see all this above stuff better if you take out the two screws that hold the lower dash cover in place , Plus a good lamp or torch and someone to put your back into position when you have finished under there
