It's more of a modifier than a traditional adjective.
The closest you can get is something like this...

"I don't like being ill." or.....
"Being single again has its advantages."

It's highly unlikely that you can do this, as BEING is a verb form. It could be a gerund, (made into a noun,) by saying "I am a being."
but I can't think of how it can be an adjective.

"Being" is a gerund, or a participle. It can't be used as an adjective.
