Crazy without sex?

During my menstrual, my SO and I do not have sex, mostly because of religious reasons and we don't like the mess, but almost every time when my cycle has ended, just like clockwork, I become a lunatic. I normally have a very high appetite for sex, so that one week without it, puts me on edge! I become over analytical and set false expectations in hopes that he will just tear me apart knowing that all openings are go. I sent him pics of my breasts in hopes he would be aroused when he arrived home, he professes he didn't know if I was off my p or not so he didn't act on anything, but then I expect him to have that initial desire to find out and from there I over analyze that and just get into a deeper vast array of our entire relationship, when all I really want is him. It's so easy but my hormones make it the most difficult thing in the world.
 I know this all just communication issues, but does anyone get absolutely crazy when going a length of time without affection from your SO? Does anyone have insight on what's neurologically going on up there? We still have yet to have sex and my body is literally aching for touch and I can't seem to rid my mind of this lingering angry bitter cloud :(
