Cope with distant upheaval, being unable to go (11)

I believe the answer is:

constipated

'unable to go' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'cope with distant upheaval' is the wordplay.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'upheaval' indicates anagramming the letters.
'cope'+'distant'='copedistant'
'copedistant' anagrammed gives 'CONSTIPATED'.

'being' acts as a link.

(Another definition for constipated that I've seen is " Unable to go".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
